you know what's weird and short-sighted about RWNJ ideological fight?

Even if they are able to "win" the culture wars through SCOTUS decisions, they will NEVER BE ABLE TO LEGISLATE MORALITY.

Demographics are against them. The tide has turned. Their ideology is repudiated at the ballot box.

How will the enforce their increasingly repressive agenda?

Do they really think they can police and adjudicate their mores?
