How many times have their ideas about the "necessity of protocol" and "not giving the right an excuse to escalate" been disproven by the right constantly escalating no matter how good the liberals behave? And yet every time they fall back to the same idiotic dogma about not escalating because "oh no what will the right wingers do???". Pathetic

    Texas is literally going to murder people for having abortions, but libs are still posting bullshit about "How we can reduce the number of abortions" as though any Evangelical on the planet gives a fuck.

      Yeah that's ridiculous. The people banning it will only be happy if abortion is totally illegal in all circumstances. It trully is amazing how many concessions liberals will make to the far right and how few they will make to mildly left wing social democrat policies.

        And after abortion is illegal, it'll be birth control's turn. Not saying it will happen, but abortion has always been the tip of the iceberg for these people.

          Yup. It's quite straightforward. You just have to recognise that as far as women are concerned they want women to be barefoot and pregnant submissive housewives and work back from there. Anything they can push to get to that state, they always will.

            The conservatives I know don't admit it, and the liberals won't really believe it till it happens. Here's to hoping, uh, yeah actually don't even know what to hope for lol

          I always thought this line of thinking was lib shit because of the Kayfabe aspect to our government, and how it wouldn't behoove either party to outright ban anything so controversial,

          But after the last week, it turns out that they straight up are going to make a play for it.

          Between this, and the bad guess that Russia wouldn't invade Ukraine, leftists have taken a couple of licks.

            Yeah same, I assumed SCOTUS wouldn't want to blow their legitimacy on what is to them a useful wedge issue. But yeah looks like they're fucking true believers, or something.
