of course. fem-aligned health concerns have always been a disaster because the patriarchy hates us but now, my main fear (in addition to the climate collapsing and the slaughtering immigrants) is biden gets elected, lasts 4 years, and then someone tucker carlson-esque gets elected and we all get returned to the kitchen. repubs have been chomping away at the voting rights act for so long and democrats have just sorta fucking let them
I think this will happen on a much more accelerated timespan at the state level, while the feds will struggle to force liberal states to abandon the protections they have. The chuds aren't going to wait four years once the door is opened.
I don't know why you'd assume women are getting returned to the kitchen. We have a lot of stupid fucking regressive laws but the Supreme Court has had very little impact on that.
the "returned to the kitchen" remark was kinda tongue in cheek, but anyway (maybe im not wording this right) but this is another step towards fascism. we're not there yet, but letting right wing psychos more access to controlling the shape of the law will be very bad. this will influence culture and strengthen the already incredible grip of the right.
This isn't good news but the Supreme Court can be countered in a number of ways. There are bellwethers of fascism in this country, but this is not one. It's not great but there's a lot of ways it can be fought entirely within the system.
okay, i will keep that in mind, but these becoming states rights issues again will make things demonstrably worse. on the other hand, returning them to states rights issues might actually motivate people to do something to change them. we'll see i guess.

This is an important point that i wasnt thinking about when i was having my initial freakout. Thank you for reminding me

I mean I think it's a liberal fantasy to live in the Handmaid's Tale, and I doubt that kind of shit is going to happen.
i wasnt thinking of the handmaid's tale? but there are plenty of real life examples of theocratic repression in this country, and it will get worse.

I tend to have faith in people, if not Americans, so I think the other hand is what's likeliest.
