It could be worse, I suppose. They could be lining us up in front of firing squads.

There is no tipping point back to secular sanity that I am seeing.

If we see massive turnouts in the mid terms and the GQP gets their asses handed to them, they might back off. The center and left will have to maintain the pressure. I seriously doubt the christofascists are going to give up now that Roe is gone.

This is a sign from God for these whackjobs and the Pig is going to insist he take all the credit.

Welcome to the Christian Republic of the United States folks.

Next up, if not out right bans, there will be a drastic increase in the powers to ban given to the states. The christofascists will get their states rights powers.

laws. Thst doesn't mean they will be able to enforce them. Some prosecutors are already saying they won't enforce them.

And there are 150 million women in this country that are about to tell them to go screw themselves.
