Bringing up all the bad things that occur when abortions are made illegal and asking the Republicans what their plans were for all the bad things that occurred and will happen again if they got their way.

This government attorney said that none of that was necessary to get into, because that was just too extreme to bring to the discussion. He also disagreed with me that this country was beginning to become too fascist. This guy was closely tied to the Democratic Party in the area this was in, be he just couldn't wrap his mind around the fact that there are a lot of people in good ole' USA that really do want a scorched earth end game.

Until most people wake the fuck up to what has really been happening in this country for decades, that end game will come sooner than later. First of all, 99% of the people are not wealthy enough to vote Republican, which should be the total sum of everyone's logic. Everything after that is just about stripping rights people gained in the 1900s... Their Republican code word for that is "deregulation".
