We know that Mitch McConnell floated the idea of a nationwide abortion ban shortly after the leak happened.

We know that with Roe v Wade about to be gone, the Republicans will move forward with implementing a nationwide abortion ban the next time they have enough power consolidated to do it (i.e. a trifecta, where they control the House, Senate, and Presidency).

We know that Republicans are very well positioned in the 2022 midterms, and currently the projections are that they will regain both the House and Senate.

We know that Republicans are opposed to democracy and have no problem with disregarding election results that don't favor them. Assuming that they control the Senate and House in 2024, we can count on them doing this with any 2024 presidential election result that shows a Democratic victory.

So here's the most likely (basically guaranteed in my opinion) timeline we're looking at: the GOP takes the House and Senate in 2022, they steal the presidency in 2024 (assuming they don't just win outright), and then they ban abortion nationwide in 2025 or 2026.

Am I missing anything? Is there any compelling reason to believe that this won't happen?

    I don't know if you've been following the news but Biden has been purging those people all over the place. Out, out, out!

        Biden has been purging the far right elements from the US military. You didn't hear about it? White supremacists are being identified from their social media postings and discharged. Antivaxxers already got fired. It's some good news for once.

          Wow, :biden-leftist: actually doing something. This makes me pretty happy. I guess he's actually scared of a coup then, otherwise he wouldn't go to the trouble.
