why did the ruling class do this? i have vague ideas but not sure what is the actually correct analysis
- jesus
republican people with power actually believe the crap they say and/or know their voters do, so they genuinely just dont want abortions to happen because jesus
- class warfare
millennials arent having enough babies to support the labour pool + people with children make for better cogs, since they are less likely to stir shit and cause problems for their employers/landlords as they will feel they have more to risk
- fascist state
hearing stories from people reporting on their neighbours in texas, its about creating a fascist panopticon with people increasingly policing themselves and everyone they interact with across the country, with more things to police about each other to be added in the future
is it one of these, or a mix, or something else, or is it pointless to even search for the "correct" analysis here?
At this specific moment, democrats needed a reason to get votes in 2024 when Biden has shown they improve absolutely nothing, materially, from any republican’t at this point, and had commensurate lack of interest. So it serves the dem establishment with donations and turnout.
It obviously always serves republicans.
