Republican Judo is in full effect on Facebook

In the last few days, I’ve been seeing a ton of posts and memes being posted by my Leftie friends, members of the LGBTQ+ community, women, turning the blame on the Democrats for “not doing anything about abortions before now”—or worse, falling back on the “they’re both equally bad, Democrats don’t really care about abortion” schlock. It’s so incredibly frustrating!! The only way we get through this is with a coalition against fascism, I’m trying to push back and remind them of this, and I just… I’m tearing out my hair over here

several friends lately; "if you don't vote for Democrats, what you get is Republicans. If you want your future to be ruled by heavily-armed religious zealots and psychotic methbillies, then keep up with all that divisiveness."

it would have been nice to have eo's ready to sign, and bills ready to vote on the day the ruling came down.
we had plenty of time. yes, the bills would have failed in the senate, but make them raise their hands. the house could dump hyde.
