We can bring a state or corporation who discriminates to its knees , even red ones.
Look at freaking Arkansas and Indiana. It doesn't get much redder, and even they were deterred from passing anti gay laws because they don't want to be boycotted.
That was the whole point of my thread. No matter what SCOTUS does there are a majority of Americans who oppose discrimination against anyone, some of whom will use their economic power to punish those who do, a minority of Deplorables notwithstanding.
That doesn't mean Deplorables can't express their hate on the "internets" and such. They just can't put it into law.

I wouldn't say the war is over. I would say many hard fought battles have been won.

Public resistance & persistence paying off. Nunes & Sessions recused, Flynn resigned, AHCA crumbled.
