It’s on the Project 2025 list. As such, I expect it to fall, like Roe.
Heritage is clearly funding this erasure of what We The People want.

What can we do? Surely we outnumbered these people
Find out where the heritage foundation meets, and have a crowd gather outside. Lock the doors. Burn the building. Let no one out.
That's how we get change.

It’s as if these people don’t remember the riots that happened to earn equality.
They do and now they have a surveillance state to make sure the riots don’t happen again
And a president who wants to shoot those protestors, and a federal police, answerable to no one, who can definitely do it. I'm giving it a year before we see at least one protest met with overwhelming lethal force.

The false narrative that basic rights were earned through "civil debate" has been parroted by right wing talking heads for so long.
Most people are uninformed, and have an impression that rights just kind of happened via peaceful protests or debates, either due to their own ignorance or learning a very whitewashed version of history.
The U.S. should revisit if we need a supreme court anymore.
Or at least set term limits and have a lot more of them.
I'll vote for anyone legally dismantling SCOTUS. Also if we can't get rid of the supreme court can we at least move it to the northern most tip of alaska? Nowhere in the constitution does it say scotus has to be in DC.

Gosh it is almost like these MAGAts are just doing whatever the hell they want. I have a few things we can do when we get back in power.

All the people that didn't vote are partly responsible for this.
Last presidential election had the highest turnout of voters and youth voters in American history.
Our problem is much more depressing and much more deeply baked-in.

"The overall turnout of eligible voters in the 2024 general election was 63.7%. This was lower than the 2020 record of 66.6% but higher than every other election year since at least 2004."
People did vote. Constantly blaming the small group of disillusioned voters is just weird.
"The small group" of more than one in three people that didn't vote.
Oh, you were actually aiming at 100% turnout. Well, that's just silly.
mandatory voting looks like a small price to pay for a (more) healthy democracy, Australia seems to be doing a lot better than the other British colonies right now
of course with the US, something like that would have to be combined with an extensive overhaul of public education (moving away from the "breed compliant factory workers"-goal), because healthy democracy also requires an educated population capable of knowing when they're being lied too
Argentina has mandatory voting and they have Milei. How healthy is that?
Argentina also votes on Sunday (a change way simpler than reforming education) and last elections they had 77% turnout. A lot of people simply don't participate in the democracy and there's no way around it. No one serious expect 100% people to vote and blames the 30% that doesn't for the outcomes.

90%, 80%, hell, even 70%. The general wisdom (not necessarily as true today) is that the higher the turnout in U.S. elections, the more likely the democrat is to win. That was the driver of the attached:

So much for individual freedom and small government, huh.
The small government is the biggest lie pushed by the right wing side of our country. In fact, when you read where the money comes from, it actually comes from a "Dark Enlightenment" coalition of techno-fascists looking to dismantle democracy.
So predictable. The angry assholes hated losing that ruling, as well as losing the culture war around it. That's why they didn't really give up, but switched to harping on bathroom bills and "men in women's sports". The wedge was trans and they were going to hammer on that until they got enough Confederates in office to, yeah, attack trans, but also go after gays, even if, or even especially because of, the culture being against them for it. They hope to deport, imprison, threaten and smash down enough people to reverse that culture war, too, believe that.
They won't be happy until they turn on streaming services or their television or go to the movies and won't have to see any gays, unless it is for comic effect or the like. They definitely don't want to see anything normalized...
This might not be reversed in the near future - maybe. But the weirdoes on the right will treat this just like they did abortion. They won't give up, even if it takes them 50 years to take the rights of others away.
I just have no idea why gays voted for Taco. Or any Confederates for that matter. It just makes no sense at all. I know some gays IRL who have voted for Taco. Twice. But I guess there was actually a group called "Jews for Hitler", too, until the Nazis shut it down...
That’s why they didn’t really give up, but switched to harping on bathroom bills and “men in women’s sports”.
I'm so glad democrats circled the wagons around vulnerable minorities on this one. Can you imagine if they just ignored it and let republicans set the narrative, or worse, ran the "men in women's sports" hate in their own ads?
Man imagine if people started saying that trans people should just suck it up "for a bit" too. As if somehow not fighting for our rights would lead to them being magiced into existence.

Well, Trump has taught us that you can ignore the Supreme Court if your party controls Congress. So if there ever is another Democrat president with Democrat control of Congress, just revert all this and ignore whatever the SC says.
We should only be elevating Democrats who make it clear they are ready to play hardball.

Do you mean that when the concurrence for the overturning of Roe v Wade said that they should also have another look at marriage equality, that meant that this was on the roadmap? Huh. Who could have possibly seen this coming?

They might just punt it to the states like they’ve been doing. Welcome back to the 90’s.
I won’t be surprised when inter-racial marriage and slavery are back on the docket.
They’re starting with trans, working their way to gay. Trans was their gateway item, it helped get them elected. (They tried gay marriage during campaigning, it didn’t stick, there was too much public support). Even so, now that they’re in, they’re going there.
This is all per Project 2025. They’re not going to touch slavery, but the items with a religious, Heritage mandate will be torn apart.
They’re going to hit hard when they get to women, not just an erosion of legal status but bodily autonomy. Ownership, by men, in terms of loss of legal status in re to pregnancy. Remember, MAGA ran on a reaction to women’s lib.
They’ve already declared decreased fertility, the current 1.6 replacement rate, a matter of national security.
They’re just grabbing more power (and money) and beating the public down into a more complacent state before kicking 51% of the population in the head.
P25 dismantles HIPAA and ends death with dignity at the national level as well. The religious mandates are pretty awful. I do not have much hope that gay marriage will survive the Supreme Court.

“Who am I to stop an enterprising young person from willingly entering into a contract of indentured servitude?”
- Clarence Thomas, probably
Slavery never ended though. Hell, I'm pretty sure it's not even illegal
https://www.history.com/articles/13th-amendment-slavery-loophole-jim-crow-prisons
The 13th Amendment, ratified in 1865, says: “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”

Fuck Kim Davis
I thought I never had to hear about Kim Davis again. I never want to hear or think about that toad again. What a shame
Once again, 'both sides'ers.
This is what they were ranting about doing all along. You allowed this to happen.
Would they hear the case if a court clerk said she would no longer hand out marriages for anyone not religious as that is offensive to them?
Or maybe people who are left handed marrying people who are right handed? The abomination!
Where does this bullshit stop?
Government should NOT be interested in marriage. They simply should not care. The MOST they should do is have ready to made contracts if they want to manage divorce, child support, and death wealth distribution. Those are contracts. Contracts are made between consenting adults. The government either lets their citizens enter into contracts or not.
