Rob deSantis stop woke act:
If you feel offended because someone at your school or job said something that made you feel bad (like white guilt) you’ll be able to sue them!
Conservatives are such snowflakes! “Waaaah they said something that made me feel bad, I want to be compensated for my suffering”
Lol

Is this a marginal/fringe opinion?
- Not so much fringe in the ignorant white boomer crowd. Millennials and those with tertiary education can see past this rhetoric,imbecile
- Dismissive ridicule like this is par for the course when confronted with logic and facts that don’t fit their narrative.imbecile
- So, why do the majority put up with it?Morning_star
- disenfranchisement + voter suppressionimbecile

It’s blowing my mind that there are thousands of Americans who right now think they are living in a country where the election was stolen.
We can laugh at them but in their minds (assuming they truly believe Trump’s lies) they have lost control of their country.
Scary!
- beyond scary. facts do not matter. logic results in anger.imbecile
- What was stolen was women's rights. Today.Continuity

And here is the Dems response lol
- Quoting biblical verses for a 21st century problem. The dems are just as fucked as the rest of them._niko
- Sorry no they aren’tmonospaced
- The Dems allowed this to happen, so here we are in 2022 when a women's right to body autonomy is destroyed all they can do is tell everyone to vote.face_melter
- Oh, and send money. Because sending money to shitheels like Lincoln Project will fix everything.face_melter
- Wow. I couldn’t imagine a more naive and incorrect response, face. Sorry.monospaced
- Saying the Dems allowed this is ignorant AF. If you’re implying they didn’t and don’t try to stop this then you’ve got your head in the sand my man.monospaced

I have to say that I'm kind of surprised that riots haven't already broken out, in the aftermath of this ruling. Is it that people are still in shock?
- maybe the people like the idea?hans_glib
- Read today in the Guardian that 85% of Americans support women having the right to an abortion. So, likely not.Continuity
- The majority do not support this.monospaced
- '[...] an estimated 85% of Americans support legal abortion under certain circumstances'Continuity
- https://www.theguard…Continuity
- For sure not resounding endorsement, I'll grant you, but CNN is also reporting 66% of Americans didn't want RvW overturned.Continuity
- Wait until the first teenage victim of rape has an abortion and is charged with murder and goes to jail while her parents, who voted for this, watch in horror.monospaced
- Of course her conservative parents will support their child being prosecuted and punished to the fullest extent of the law. Better to have her in prisonmonospaced

- sea_sea and Shellie, the two of you must rightly be apoplectic with rage right now. :(Continuity

It's a god-given right to protect the lives of fetuses so they can grow to a ripe old age of 6 and be mowed down by a lunatic with a god-given right to an AR-15.
It's the American way.

President Biden (considered the leader of the free world and arguably the most powerful person in the world) just took the opportunity to remind you that his party will fix this problem if you vote for them just one more time.
- Considering a vote for the other side is support for this problem he’s got a point.monospaced
- LoLPhanLo
- Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me indefinitely, forever...nb
- How is he wrong? Americans voted again and again for insane right-wingers like Trump...who then appointed the current Supreme Court.yuekit
- There's literally a direct link between who Americans voted for and this outcome. But people then laugh at the idea of voting as a solution.yuekit
- The Democratic Party needs a reboot.instrmntl
- Once again not a problem rooted in the democrats. Stop that please.monospaced
- yuekit, are you arguing that this ruling is the will of the people?nb
- The ruling itself isn't supported by most Americans, but it absolutely is the product of what they voted for...first they voted for Bush who appointed threeyuekit
- conservatives justices. Then they voted for Trump who did the same. Were they just not paying attention to Republicans' plans to stack the Supreme Court withyuekit
- right-wing extremists? Apparently not...I tried to bring it up but even on this site people were telling me Amy Coney Barrett was super qualified lolyuekit
- It seems bizarre to blame Biden or the Dems when in reality, if people had voted for their party instead this wouldn't have happened.yuekit
- The only party that needs a reboot is the one that lost its way to extremism.monospaced
- The timing sucked for Dems. The open SC seats were during Republican tenures. It was absolutely not the fault of the Dems. Just unfortunate.monospaced
- It also had to do with midterm elections -- if people hadn't voted in a conservative Senate majority under Obama he could have appointed another justice.yuekit
- There are some things you can legitimately blame the Dems for but with SC appointments it couldn't be more simple. You vote for the President,yuekit
- the President appoints SC justices. I don't think American public should let themselves off the hook so easily...in a democracy it is ultimately up to us.yuekit
- Yeah so the people voted for republicans and that led to appointments and that led to this decision. Democracy works, you’re telling me?!?nb
- To be clear not all presidents get to appoint SC positions. They have to be open at the right time. If RBG had survived until biden it would be diff.monospaced
- Didn’t the republicans refuse to even hear arguments for Obama’s SC appointment based on some BS about too close to the electionnb
- And then they changed their minds when it was their turn. Those fuckers. But they keep winning don’t they.nb
- Democrats aren't doing enough to stop Republicans. They need to do more than read poems, pass mediocre gun restrictions, etc etc.instrmntl
- Their first mistake was letting Republicans stop them from putting someone on the Supreme Court during Obama.instrmntl
- OK but what was the solution to that? Americans voted for a GOP Senate, Republicans then refused to let the nomination go forward.yuekit
- Why would you blame Obama? Between him, the voters and the GOP he's the one who was trying to nominate a liberal justice.yuekit
- I didn't blame Obama.instrmntl
- You implied there was more they could do, which is unequivocally false.monospaced
- You implied they only read poems. Also insanely ignorant of reality and flat out wrong.monospaced
- Sure thing Beninstrmntl
- Perhaps I don’t understand the point of condescension as a form of discussion.instrmntl
- *helpful forminstrmntl
- Sorry?monospaced
- I’m just saying that calling it a mistake is not accurate. They tried like hell to get the SC pick and it was blocked. Tragic but not a mistake.monospaced

And just because the last two years weren't surreal enough for you, now the human piece of shit who made this all possible supposedly isn't too keen on the ruling.
From the Guardian live feed.
- Can you believe some people have the audacity to blame the Dems for this!? So insane.monospaced
- I can't believe I'm saying this but Trump is right. This, if anything will prevent the pigs from taking the House and Senate.CyBrainX

As I've seen people say on Twitter, and whom I agree with, this is going to mobilize suburban women unlike anything we've ever seen before.
America's suburbs are full of republican women, sure, but plenty of them are adamantly against losing their rights and lean more socially liberal. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this ruling ends up being a disaster for republicans in the mid terms. That said, we already know that Republicans will do whatever possible to cheat and steal an election, so hopefully they will lose so crushingly at the ballot box that it's obvious they lost.
- I’m not so sure. A lot of people are adamantly against abortion (until they need one.) Older people tend to vote and older women tend not to need abortionsnb
- I hope you’re right but I’m not confidentnb
- Also it will take far too many years to reverse this decisionnb
- Even a landslide democrat victory won’t overturn this ruling. They need to win all the red statesnb
- I'm just glad I live in Illinois and not Texas, my homeland. No abortions planned, but our state is decidedly Democrat, thank Christ.mg33
- I hope this happens, too, and not just women/suburbs. So many thought things were 'ok' and they didn't need to vote.formed
- Republicans could very well go for nation-wide ban on abortion after this. It would be naive to think that couldn't happen.yuekit
- Oh wait it's already happening...
