One difference between Trump and Hitler

One big difference between Trump and Hitler is that after Hitler staged a coup he was charged, convicted and sentenced to prison. Also he was banned from giving public speeches for a year.

Trump has received ZERO consequences for his insurrection attempt other than a Twitter ban that one of his fellow oligarchs is about to lift.

Big surprise Trump is making a Hitler style political comeback. Our Congress, justice system and media was and is too scared to hold him accountable. And for many Americans memories of January 6th have faded. Replaced by some selective memory magical thinking that the economy was doing better under Trump and the Republicans.

Just proves the current generation has learned nothing from history. Maybe Trump's next coup attempt in 2 years will get their attention. I'm not holding my breath.

Question about the Texas 6 week ban

One thing I still can't figure out about the pending SCOTUS abortion ruling.

Say the court votes to make Dobbs vs Jackson 15 week ban the law of the land. As a replacement for Roe v Wade.

Would that new law make the Texas 6 week ban null and void? Or can a bunch of red states just simply pass their own version of the Texas bounty hunter law.

In which case Roe vs Wade will essentially be overturned and abortions would not be offered after 6 weeks.

Either way I feel like we're going to be living in a post-Roe country no matter what the Roberts court decides. At least in 2 dozen red states. Scary times.
