First Roe vs Wade and then control of elections. It's all in the playbook.

First Roe vs Wade and then control of elections. It's all in the playbook.

What's the next step of the playbook? Got to get ahead of it, so we have to know.

[Nodack]

They are talking about making contraception illegal next and then banning gay marriage.

Who's talking about that?

[In2ition]

Those are pretty wild. I can't imagine that it would play well even with their base. Do they somehow think that contraception is only used by the left? I find that to be intrusive and an overreach.

The gay marriage issue is over, and I don't understand how they think that it will change with Roe v Wade being overturned?

So they get a win, and then go over the top, to ensure their is another balancing out and pendulum flow to the left? These people are idiots or it's just one uni-party while each plays their part of controlled opposition.

[Nodack]

If one side gets an advantage they generally push the limits of that advantage too far. Republicans now own the Supreme Court and haven’t wasted any time putting that power to the test.

[In2ition]

There are a couple schools of thought to pushing the limits. I've had discussions with coworkers about how they wish one party or the other would be able to get their way and everything they want while in office, and if the public doesn't like it, they just get voted out next time. In their minds, this would allow things to get done and stop everything from grinding to a halt. I'm not sure this is a great idea, if either side goes bonkers to the extreme.

Could you imagine the dystopia that could cause if one side decided that anyone from the other side or other ideology should be sent to the Gulag? Then partisan laws are passed to ensure that the ruling party never loses an election again?

The other thought is that pushing the advantage too far to one side, just creates a backlash and gridlock. That can be good or bad, depending on your POV. I think both sides tend to frame the other's thought process or reasoning in the worst light, even outright lying about their position altogether.

I haven't seen anything out of the Supreme Court other than the Roe v Wade ruling to say that those 5 judges are entirely far-right and will vote/rule that way every time.

Because Alito said so in his opinion on Roe that was circulated. He called it out by name. Undoing Roe doesn't undo Roe. It undoes any/all SCOTUS decisions that came before it based on similar principles. Obergefell is one of those. So is Loving (interracial marriage).

That's interesting. I'll have to look more into that.

I think if that's the case, the ripple effects will not be in the positive, imo. I just have a hard time thinking that changing those other things would be a good decision in any way.

Doing what? Trying to overturn Roe v. Wade? Yes, they have been trying to stop the killing of babies due to the ruling of Roe v Wade, that was based on a lie from the start.
Were they also trying to not allow the change of the definition of marriage? Yes, that's also true.
Trying to criminalize interracial marriage? That was the racist Democrats forever. Remember, founders of the KKK, the radical political military arm of the Democrats?

[Indy]

Ah, they are anti women and anti-gay, just not anti-black. Got it.

[Nodack]

Dems were the founders of the KKK… a long time ago. Party’s change over the years as we have seen. Now Republicans proudly fly the Rebel flag and the KKK endorsed Trump for President. Republicans HATE BLM. The old Republicans guard is now called RINO’s and have been replaced by the new and improved Trump version who now claim they are the real Republicans.

The GOP isn't going to stop at banning books in schools. Now they're trying to stop bookstores from selling books they don't like. The party of free speech.

The Dark Maga is coming for you.

Madison Cawthorn Calls For Rise Of ‘Dark MAGA’ In Wild Rant After Loss
https://www.forbes.com/sites/nicholasre ... da8fb8ac1f
Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) is calling for vengeance against Republicans who didn't support his failed reelection effort, saying on Instagram Thursday afternoon that it's "time for Dark MAGA to truly take command," referencing a growing far-right community that endorses former President Donald Trump punishing his political enemies.

Cawthorn posted a list of so-called "patriots" like Trump, Fox News host Tucker Carlson and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), but vowed to go on a "mission" to purge the GOP of members he feels are "cowardly and weak."


The 'Dark MAGA' movement dreams of a vengeful Trump destroying his enemies, and is using 'meme warfare' to amplify its threatening vision, say experts
https://www.businessinsider.com/dark-ma ... nge-2022-5
A burgeoning online movement known as Dark MAGA is calling for former President Donald Trump to return to power and take revenge against his enemies.

"It's an aggrieved movement centered around the idea of a vengeful return to power. They're embracing the role of the villain and stripping away any facade of decency or political correctness."

Dark MAGA memes on social media show conservative influences with red and black colors and lasers shooting from their eyes. Some show Trump dressed in black with guns in his hands and the words “Remember what they took from you.”

LOL @ these stories. They must be over the target on the Durham investigation and trial, Facebook propaganda revelations, Twitter bot revelations, Election fraud investigations, Roe v Wade coming out, Ukraine propaganda that being exposed, & covid exposures from the Pfizer data, to be coming in heavy with these silly hit pieces.
