8. Stripping away the basic rights of women...

... is just the start. Women are an easy target, and a popular one with socially inept Incels, and insecure Macho Jockstraps, who are, almost always, Republicans. The Conservative patriarchy craves total dominion over the lives of others, and subjugating women is the expedient first step. Remember the word, "FIRST".

They get the loudmouthed yahoos on the bandwagon, and the room-temperature IQs quickly follow. Now, the religious zealots LOVE this indoctrination shit, so they don't want to be left out, and pretty soon ya got yerself a movement, Baby!

So, lessee... ban abortions. Check. Hamstring ANY efforts to circumvent draconian laws by going out of state. Check. Ban contraceptives again. Workin' on it.
Now, about that damned 19th Amendment... Oh, and no more bank accounts in her own name, or credit cards, or owning property. Ooo! Let's do driver's licenses, too.

See the logical progression of this evil shit? This is not hyperbole, four of those five listed above have already been proposed – In PUBLIC – by frothing-at-the-mouth Republican candidates for elective office.

As the old saying goes, when someone tells you who – or what – they are, BELIEVE THEM THE FIRST TIME!

As I said, remember the word, "FIRST". Attacking the rights of half the population is just the FIRST step. Subjugating the other half... coming right up, boys, so brace yourselves.

Don't doubt it for a second.
