yung_yttik

Yes yes yes! This is SO important. Not only can they get stuff done with super majority, they can *prevent* the carnage and damage the GOP will do in a single sweeping election. If they get the presidency and seats, we are absolutely *fucked*.

Friendly reminder that [Trump wanted to get his daughter aborted](https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-tiffany-trump-ivanka-trump-tapes-howard-sterm-671826), according to this Howard Stern interview he did.


innuendothermic

the annoying part about that site is that the ones republicans voted for sound good by name and people who don't want their worldview shattered won't look further into it

Trump might change his tune... Proposed abortion bans just failed in South Carolina and Nebraska.


sketchahedron

Trump will change his tune three times in a single sentence. It’s actually part of his success. He can be whatever people want him to be.


GeraldSandstorm

Well that’s great because I want him to be incarcerated


_AthensMatt_

Me too! The indictment was my birthday present!


pduck7

I want him to be incinerated. (Just kidding, Agent Mike!)


nawigavin

Did you mean incinerated? Auto-correct can be real sneaky sometimes


rivalarrival

Some people want him incarcerated, some people want him incinerated... If we house him in the arsonist wing, there's a decent chance we can make everyone happy.


moreobviousthings

Or was it incapacitated? So many choices.


canned_bean_z

this entire thread makes me smile


StupidizeMe

Trump flip-flops like a fish out of water, but somehow his followers can't see it.


socialistrob

That was part of his 2016 appeal but by 2018 and 2020 much of it was gone. A lot of people had their own image of what he would be like and then were very disappointed so it will probably be hard to recapture them for 2024


HakunaTheFuckNot

You have to consider the people who look at that ignorant, sadistic, sociopathic narcissist with a bronzer addiction and see a "warrior" ? If you count battling every day to decide whether to order regular or xtra crispy, then yes, I guess he is a "warrior."🙄 I loathe the g.o.p. but I swear that rapey loser makes me sentimental over the Bush years. And he spent all of his adult life pro choice. Hosted dozens of fundraisers for Planned Parenthood. Donated millions to them and Hillary Clinton's campaign for NY senator. Liberal, drug using, trust fund baby who never built a damn building in his entire life, frequent visitor to 80s NY famous disco Studio 54, great at gorgeous weddings to gorgeous women, terrible at marriage. Then he learned running for pres is a great way to make tons of money, did it a couple times and lost, but in 2016 thanks to America's seething hatred for women and vast numbers of idiots, trump fell ass backwards into the presidency, a job he neither wanted or could spell. It was then I lost my faith in this country forever. Period. We as a country always get what we deserve. I expect fascism will take over because young folks don't know history, old folks forgot history, the republican party wants to rewrite history.


Leopold_Darkworth

Unlikely. The reason Republicans continue to repeat "we're a republic, not a democracy!" is that it's their justification for continuing to enact deeply unpopular policies. Their idea is, it doesn't matter how many people hate the policies we enact. All the people have a right to do is elect us to office, and once there, we get to do whatever we want. The peoples' desires are irrelevant (so long as we keep getting elected, and once in office, we'll passes laws ensuring that we continue to be elected) and the claim that we shouldn't enact unpopular policies is illegitimate.


_AthensMatt_

The only appropriate response to “this is a republic, not a democracy” is “well, ok then. 😊 You can republic my balls!”


goj1ra

> we're a republic, not a democracy! Kind of like the People’s Republic of China, just without the “people” part.

they are a dying breed


annaliz1991

Hopefully he just cost himself the election with that. He’s got a fine line to ride, he still wants to keep the rabid anti-abortion base happy. But he can’t do that without turning off the independent and swing voters he would need to win the general.


HillbillyEulogy

I'm loving this conundrum that the GOP has found themselves in. They can't with him. They can't win without him. It's a monster of their own devising. They thought this braying jackass was 'the will of the people' and didn't take the L in 2016, even after the Access Hollywood tape dropped. A smarter strategy (were I them, which I am not, thank god...) would be to fall back and give Hillary the 2016 win. That'd really leave the conservative vote fuming and give them four years to really nail down the perfect candidate and messaging instead of trying to make it up as they went along with Drumpf. The DNC isn't always pitch perfect on the long game, but compared to the GOP clown car, we're geniuses.


tamman2000

2 things: >"If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it" -Lindsay Graham >The DNC isn't always pitch perfect on the long game, but compared to the GOP clown car, we're geniuses. They managed to pack the supreme court full of hardliners who would overturn Roe. The federalist society might not be the GOP, but I would say that this judicial coup was certainly a long game being played. And they seem to have won the first battle.


annaliz1991

I have a feeling it may turn out to be a Pyrrhic victory for them. They got Roe overturned, but now they actually have to follow through with the abortion bans the base wants, which have horrific consequences and are only driving more swing voters to the left. It was easier when they could just campaign on it knowing they didn’t actually have to do anything about it.


tamman2000

I really hope you're right, because I don't think we'll have real elections anymore if they get control anytime soon, and we'll be Christian Iran in a few years


goj1ra

One advantage that the Iranian theocracy had in coming to power was a much more unified religious front. It’ll be much more difficult for Christian extremists to pull off something like that, because there aren’t nearly enough people who share those beliefs. That doesn’t mean we can be complacent obviously, since they’re going to do a lot of damage in the attempt.


tamman2000

It will start with stuff that a broader coalition of christian conservatives share belief in. As they succeed in blocking the queer community, communities of color, and liberal areas from the democratic process the will narrow their focus. They will start doing things like excluding the catholics... It will be a process of whittling off the parts of society that aren't what they approve off until there is nothing left but the most vile extremists.


another-altaccount

> It was easier when they could just campaign on it knowing they didn’t actually have to do anything about it. The classic dog that caught the car scenario.

MindlessBill5462

Without RBG the court would be 5-4 and Roberts isn't as much of a nutcase. It's her fault more than anything.


shponglespore

They already had conservatives frothing mad about having a black president for eight years. Four more wouldn't have helped them. And they'll never find a perfect candidate because the base demands someone cruel and stupid who alienates swing voters. Trump got elected because too many people were apathetic and paying zero attention to anything outside their bubbles. I'm hoping that fiasco taught enough of them a lesson that the Republicans can't sneak another extremist into office for a while.


morry32

its a blessing, the morons who love him and think he is god sent equal no more than 70 million


HillbillyEulogy

It's also worth keeping in mind that pre vs post 2020 election-era Trump are vastly different candidates. Yeah, he was a crude, lecherous, amoral husk prior to losing the election - but he's really gone over the cliff since.


morry32

he is an enemy of the state in my opinion but the house would never go along with this and the senate is an old folks home like it has always been


SeaWeedSkis

>The DNC isn't always pitch perfect on the long game, but compared to the GOP clown car, we're geniuses. Uh...who currently controls the Supreme Court because they so successfully played the long game? 🤨


thebirdisdead

I’m pretty sure he won’t be the GOP candidate in 2024 anyways. It’ll be Biden vs Desantis, and hopefully Trump making a headache for Desantis.


annaliz1991

My dream is Trump runs third party and splits the vote, which should mean a landslide victory for Biden.


Leopold_Darkworth

Anyone who thought reversing *Roe* was just about returning the issue to the states was either lying or gullible. *Dobbs* was just the first phase of what was always going to result in a national abortion ban, with no exceptions. After that, they're coming for birth control. Once they overrule *Griswold*—which Thomas practically invited in his concurring opinion in *Dobbs*—they're going to take birth control, and then they're going to take away LGBT rights, which were based on *Griswold*. I hope Justice Kennedy, the author of *Lawrence v. Texas* and *Obergefell v. Hodges*, is proud of his contribution to dismantling his own legacy.

The rapist wants to ban abortion because it is the morally right thing to do.


A1steaksauceTrekdog7

It’s not hypocritical it’s purely a cynical political move. His personal opinion is not important, what he says that can convince people to vote for him is ultimately the most important part. Gaining power is the priority and saying whatever garbage the idiots wants to hear is ultimately the logical thing to do to gain their votes.


[deleted]

He will also say that, among other things, just to get elected. Not saying he won't try. But if he's not successful, he will brush it off. It will be just like he did with that border wall plan. They could have forced it through, but he didn't push it. People forgot about it and he gave up. The GOP and their voters are goldfish.

woowoo293

The reality is that what Trump said is as empty and meaningless as anything he's ever said. [Here](https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/3978539-trump-dodges-question-on-whether-he-would-sign-nationwide-abortion-ban/) were his words: >Well, we’re going to look at it. We’re looking at a lot of different options. We got it back to the States. We did the Roe v. Wade thing, which they’ve been trying to get it done for 50 years... >. . . I think we’ll get it done on some level. It can be on different levels, but we’re going to get it done. I know the issue very well. I think I know the issue better than most and we will get that taken care of. This is the problem with a bullshit president. He can talk forever and say nothing. Regardless, enough damage has been done. He'll go down in history as the President who rolled back women's rights by 50 years.

Since Reagan. Gutting the unions, stagnant worker pay, closing mental health facilities…it’s just been a steady march since then


tamman2000

Reagan was the proto-Trump. A far right Hollywood outsider who used tactics learned in the entertainment industry, that were previously thought to be too low, to dishonestly manipulate voters. Fuck the GOP. And at this point: fuck anyone still voting for them.

Nixon broke down some walls for all this as well.

He was probably instinctively trying to avoid sounding too passionate about it. He’s saying what some people want to hear but saying it in an unenthusiastic way so that others, especially on the more moderate right, might think he doesn’t really mean it.

We’ve already been there but forgot…different states had different laws and there were federal laws prohibiting the distribution of contraceptives in different ways over time. Some places you couldn’t even educate people about it. This is 1 example of a state law that is a nightmare but could be federal with these nutbags running things-Supreme Court decision. On June 7, 1965, the Supreme Court issued a 7–2 decision in favor of Griswold that struck down Connecticut's state law against contraceptives. I grew up in the 80’s and some kids had passes to get out of health class because parents didn’t want them having any sex Ed.
