Yes we are going back to the Stone Age thanks to the Republican Party and people like you who vote for them. Next up for the Supreme Court - taking away LGBTQ rights.

Took the words right out of my mouth! Some of us have a memory longer than a gnat.

"....people like YOU....."

This country will be unrecognizable if these unelected (selected by the Kochs and The Federalist Society) SCOTUS have their way. Many parts of this country will be paralyzed by fear of being arrested for .... reading the wrong book?!

Rational folks had thoughts like this yet dismissed them as being paranoid and hyperbolic. Look around, this coming dystopian landscape (already here in Florida and elsewhere, coming soon to a republican state near you) brought to you by christo fascists who are getting off on the damage being done to women.

It will only get worse if we do not vote! They are gerrymandering the fuck out of certain areas where a Dem won't have a snowballs chance to win in decades. We can prevent more suffering if we vote! Do it before our votes will not matter, they are getting their way with submitting their own electors if an election does not bode well for them. Some have already taken up the "pussy-grabbers" playbook by not conceding and yelling "stolen!"

I and so many others are done playing, we are outraged and petrified of things done and will be done. No more "let's just be reasonable and talk this out."

This is my state. I am horrified! This child is close to the age of my granddaughter. Not only was this young girl raped, now she is being raped by the system and by politics.

The fact that JDeere would come in here and act like overturning Roe was a bad thing after voting for the Republicans for many years - based on his own posts - is absolutely outrageous. Everyone on both sides has known for decades that overturning Roe was a top priority of the Republican Party and why it was so important to vote. There are absolutely no excuses for anyone who supports the Republican Party. They are anti-woman, anti-children, racist, anti-LBGTQ and more. Why would any LGBTQ person put their own rights at risk and those of their community. It has been very very clear that the Republican Party is an enemy of the LGBTQ community. Absolutely no doubt at all.

Yes we must vote. We have to fight harder than we ever have in our lives and being chummy with those who are trying to take us down is not part of a winning strategy. They are willing to go to every extreme length including overthrowing Democracy.

Agreed...this also applies to those who didn't vote for Hillary in 2016. I've had people tell me "I voted but voted independent or write in." If you don't vote Democrat then you are voting against us. Had people who didn't like Hillary but hated Trump voted for Hillary we wouldn't be in the situation we are now. Those Supreme Court judges would likely be Democrat.

They (Republicans, social media, and media such as FOX and some others) have made Biden look so bad I don't know if the Dems can hold on to the oval office. You have to vote with us because a vote in any other direction is against us.

The Federalist Society, the conservative legal group that pushed Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's appointment, has been the biggest contributor to the re-election campaign of Sen. Susan Collins, the embattled Maine Republican, since she voted to confirm him, federal filings show.

Collins ‘exasperated’ by backlash to Federalist Society fundraiser.

Sen. Susan Collins reportedly sounded ‘exasperated’ when asked about the backlash she has received since attending a private campaign fundraising event held in 2019 at the $4 million summer mansion of Leonard Leo, the executive vice president of the Federalist Society, the leading force in putting judges who oppose abortion rights on the federal bench.

“So I went to a 20-person fundraiser,” she said. “It’s just ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous.”

To refresh our memories Collins voted to confirm Neil M. Gorsuch and Brett M. Kavanaugh then tried to claim she was mislead by Kavanaugh!

Liar Liar Pants On Fire!

For someone claiming two terms were enough.....she SURE ran for re-election, grabbing donations from questionable sources, time after time after her two terms were up!

Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh ducked out the back door of a steakhouse in Washington, D.C.last week, when a group of demonstrators gathered outside to protest his vote to jettison Roe v. Wade, Politico and activists reported.
