> Now let's watch as those states start trampling the first amendment

that’s exactly what they’re going to do and they don’t care that they’re being hypocritical. They’ve already banning books and school courses, so this isn’t going to slow them down at all.

I’ve read about Texas introducing legislation requiring ISPs to block access to sites that provide information about getting an abortion.

What the FUCK. Like, it'll be easy to get around that, and they can't block everything, but thats still so dystopian. Jfc.

Also sounds eerily similar to state internet censorship policies you hear about out of naughty countries that republicans describe as socialist or fascist or both. I'm sure their collective senses of hypocrisy and shame will kick in any day now...

Haven’t kicked in over another hypocrisy - American law prohibits companies from participating in the boycott of Israel (Arabs want to buy equipment but insist on no Israeli content, American company is required to report this to the government and reject the deal) but requires them to boycott Cuba.

Corrupt dictator (Batista) is overthrown, America is pissed that the new government voids contracts he signed. Corrupt dictator (Saran Hussein) is overthrown, American government demands that the new government void contracts he signed.

They want another civil war.

First it was, you can't stop us from owning slaves, and you have to follow our rules about returning them! The north were protecting their rights under the constitution. Didn't matter to the south.

Now that toothpaste is out of the tube, but they've still got abortion. No abortion in this state! And none anywhere because God!

They think they want another civil war but I’d wager they’d regret one as soon as the local Walmarts run out of stock and all their bank cards become useless plastic.

Yeah... also the prospect of losing another entire generation again puts a damper on it as well

It's always Christian nationalists that seem so keen on killing and oppressing as many people as possible, isn't it?

No they don't. No one does.

They're just bitter because they thought the world was timeless because they live in Bumblefuck towns that are timeless.

However, we all get access to new movies and TV shows when they come out. Those are not timeless. There are too many browns and too many gays for the Bumblefolk of Bumblefuck.

Their incoherent anger over that leads them to want revenge against liberals for...being part of the free market and thus voting with their wallets on what TV shows and movies should be like.

Pay them no more heed than you would a toddler throwing a temper tantrum. Just make sure they don't get their hands on anything that could cause damage.

AND VOTE AGAINST REPUBLICANS IN EVERY ELECTION.
