POTUS is right - MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards.

Backwards to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love.

1. The United States is supposed to be about freedom

Freedom is clearly expressed in our founding documents and most of our history.

Throughout our history, we have fought to expand our freedoms and our rights. This is why Supreme Court precedents are so important: They keep our nation on a progressive path towards increased freedoms.

The overturn of Roe is a prime example of the Luddite-thinking of the MAGA Republicans. They are withdrawing rights from the people. Their entire agenda is to control the people and dictate what they can and cannot do. This is not freedom.

We're facing an existential threat. AG Garland better start indictments soon or it will be too late to save our freedoms.

The more broad minded and more educated we become the narrower and more shut down the MAGAs become.
