This country will be unrecognizable if these unelected (selected by the Kochs and The Federalist Society) SCOTUS have their way. Many parts of this country will be paralyzed by fear of being arrested for .... reading the wrong book?!

Rational folks had thoughts like this yet dismissed them as being paranoid and hyperbolic. Look around, this coming dystopian landscape (already here in Florida and elsewhere, coming soon to a republican state near you) brought to you by christo fascists who are getting off on the damage being done to women.

It will only get worse if we do not vote! They are gerrymandering the fuck out of certain areas where a Dem won't have a snowballs chance to win in decades. We can prevent more suffering if we vote! Do it before our votes will not matter, they are getting their way with submitting their own electors if an election does not bode well for them. Some have already taken up the "pussy-grabbers" playbook by not conceding and yelling "stolen!"

I and so many others are done playing, we are outraged and petrified of things done and will be done. No more "let's just be reasonable and talk this out."

The fact that JDeere would come in here and act like overturning Roe was a bad thing after voting for the Republicans for many years - based on his own posts - is absolutely outrageous. Everyone on both sides has known for decades that overturning Roe was a top priority of the Republican Party and why it was so important to vote. There are absolutely no excuses for anyone who supports the Republican Party. They are anti-woman, anti-children, racist, anti-LBGTQ and more. Why would any LGBTQ person put their own rights at risk and those of their community. It has been very very clear that the Republican Party is an enemy of the LGBTQ community. Absolutely no doubt at all.

Yes we must vote. We have to fight harder than we ever have in our lives and being chummy with those who are trying to take us down is not part of a winning strategy. They are willing to go to every extreme length including overthrowing Democracy.
