I think the fight to preserve the choice for women to abort is extremely important, my ire is predominately directed towards conservatives fooled into thinking this is an important matter, and on a tertiary level at both democrats and conservatives for buying into this bottom tier bullshit for decades while important issues were sidelined which got us to this deeply divided place of partisan politics. it goes beyond legislation, we turned politics into a heavyweight boxing match where both trade blows but no one ever gets knocked out. we changed "what we all agree on" from "what we can get done since we both agree" to "not important, lets focus only on our disagreement". watching people debate trans bathrooms, abortion, border security, student loan forgiveness, and many other tier 3 issues as a centrist while serious issues dont get addressed at all is mind numbing, i just get to a point where i want to replace humans with robots and watch their family trees forever stunted.
i'm pretty sure you're familiar with my rant about how both parties deliberately distract their voters with culture war bs in order to prevent them from pushing for meaningful change to the system, how extreme partisanship and a lack of real political choice transformed america into a de facto oligarchy, and that it was not an accident. let me again express my confusion that you, despite realising all of this, are so dismissive of the only somewhat meaningful political wing to identify and address those issues, and rather support the architects of this abomination. simply doesn't make sense to me. even IF you think that some of their proposals are too "extreme" or "unrealistic" or whatever, wouldn't it be better than perpetuating and thus actively fortifying the broken, corrupt system?
anyway, we'll see if republicans stop at abortions, i'm pretty certain they won't (as countless discriminatory laws against lgbtq+ people in red states already indicate). it's just a matter of how far they're going to push their eugenics. you'd think that interracial relations was something even they wouldn't touch anymore these days, but then again, i thought the same about abortions years ago. given the new breed of brazen bigots, emboldened and empowered by trump, i wouldn't put anything past them. the loud majority of racist right wing scum in pard for example might not be representative of the party as a whole, but it's still a pretty good indicator as to how rotten the ideology and its proponents really are when they think they are anonymous or amongst their own. ppl like mtg spearheading the party in the public's eye certainly speaks for itself...
