Why the hell do you think it's okay to throw us under the bus? Will you still say this after we are fired, arrested, had our kids taken away, thrown into camps, killed?

What is WRONG with you???

15. Blame the Hillary haters

Jun 2022

In 2016 the people were upset because the Democrats made 2 huge mistakes 1) nominated Hillary who already had 45% of the population against her and 2) the Bernie fiasco with the nomination. That caused a lot of people to not vote for Hillary. Some even voted for trump as a protest vote. Others voted for Trump because Hillary was the nominee. Many told me they would have voted for any other democrat other Hillary over Trump.

blame the 25+ years of right wing propaganda.

Not her fault, but they recognized something in her when Bill became governor. That vast right wing conspiracy? It was real.

Oh, and then Comey sealed the deal for that orange thing.

With being kicked in the ass by our friends?????

You want to volunteer to sacrifice yourself, be my guest. But stop suggesting using LGBT folks and other minorities as punching bags. We are awake. We have barely have a chance to catch our breath after the last fight for our families and our lives - and trans folks are still in an active fight for their lives.

Some states it will remain legal.

In Michigan, that one would require a ballot proposal to remove the ban from the state constitution.

So it'll work for now until we get off our asses and vote the fascists out.

It's going to take decades to undo what this court is going after.

Seems like it takes 18-24 months or longer for most cases of this type to work their way to SCOTUS.

If Griswold and Obergefell fall after 2024, will it matter?

Agree. Next will be gay marriage then gay sex. After that is done a few years down the road they will go after birth control. It will be the end of the GOP.

My 41 year old marriage has been recognized for all of 7 years, and is increasingly under attack, as are the rights - and lives- of other minorities. My daughter has had a legal relationship with my spouse for even fewer years.

We don't need any help from our "friends" who hope our marriages will be attacked. It took so long in the first place in part because of "friends" like you who saw my marriage as too divisive until very recently to even be part of the progressive platform.

And now we are the first to be thrown back under the bus.

The farther we slide down this fascist hole, the harder it will be to get out and I have heard of too many things that were going to save us but did not. Hoping the Republicans succeed in their agenda will not doom the Republican party. JHMO
