Roe Would Still Be in Place Had Hillary Clinton Been Elected in 2016.

Ponder that for a few minutes. Join me in pondering that.

We failed to provide her about 90,000 votes in that election. In just three states. Those who voted for Jill Stein or who did not vote at all in that election are responsible for what the three SCOTUS justices nominated by Donald Trump have done.

In 2022 and 2024, let's please not make such a horrendous mistake again, OK?

Are in effect the left auxiliary of the christo-fascist reactionary right.

Wriggle as such might, it is a fact they cannot shift.

"the establishment" he was fighting against. And now, Roe is gone.

With no "right to privacy" marriage equality and contraception will be the next targets.

A sad day for the nation.

We haven’t suffered the full effects yet of Trumpism. We’re seeing just the initial stages of poisoning.

It’s going to be a bad decade full of turmoil. Many are going to needlessly die. Millions of women (and men too) were just given a death sentence.

Nobody seems to realize how fucked we are.

It's extremely likely that the Republicans would have kept the Senate in 2018 had Hillary won. It's also possible that she would have been defeated in 2020, giving them 3 Justices anyway.

Note: I'm not saying any of this is likely, except for them keeping the Senate in 2018.

They also booed John Lewis and other democrats.

These people along with the Russian attack, Right wing Media , the losers like Matt Lauer etc . ALL of these are part of the same group .
