    Nice, if there’s ever a democratic president again, let’s use that precedent to completely fuck Texas and the other theocracies when they try to make bible shit into law again

      I love how the liberals dreams of “revenge” are of not allowing others to be oppressed by some fucked up law.

      I mean. I get it. Don’t get me wrong. But if the dream of liberals in power is just “things aren’t getting much worse for awhile” I really think we need to reprioritize.

      My idea of left seizing power and being “authoritarian” is enacting universal healthcare, high speed rail, billionaires in jail, ending garbage AI waste, and much more material actions.

      If our idea is just to “stick it” to some racist people in Texas I think we need to rethink that plan. I want those racist people in Texas to have all of the things above too. I want the material conditions to improve for everyone because I know that that is what helps to end these manufactured divisions of race, gender, or religion.

      Our goals can’t be to just play whackamole with fucked up laws in red states.

      If there’s ever a non-trumpikan president of this country again they must declare the Republican party a fascist organization, its members arrested, its symbols hate speech, and ban everyone from supporting or promoting their ideas again. Anything less is, frankly, complicity with what’s happening now.

        It always was complicity, too. Sherman should have burned it all, zero concessions given.

      Sorry, the senate parliamentarian will say it’s not allowed and so the dems will pout about it some then just settle for sending a strongly worded letter about the matter.

      This has been the game for the GOP for decades. They cry “states rights” when they don’t have the presidency, then want the president to be a king when they have the presidency.
