This is blatantly unconstitutional.

That's pretty much the Republican party at this point. Project 2025 either convinces you the Republicans are going to far and avoid them like the plague or it speaks to all your petty fears and hates convincing you that only the Republicans are the party for you.

The real problem, in my experience, is the large number of people. from all over the political spectrum, who will say, "Oh, that's not what the party wants, that's not what the politicians will do, it's just some people saying things." and just like, NO THEY REALLY DO WANT TO LINE ME AND HALF THE PEOPLE I KNOW UP AGAINST THE WALL AND SHOOT US DEAD, really seriously truly they do.

And even if they don’t it’s what they’ll try to do. I heard that exact statement about overturning roe for my entire life

It's "surely they won't actually do those things..." to, "well, it's still better than being a Democrat" then vote for them giddily.

That's pretty much the Republican party at this point.

And then they use the very same taxpayer dollars they're supposedly so concerned about to defend the inevitable lawsuits.

In Germany we had the NPD (now we have AfD), in the USA ypu have the Republican Party!

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The fact of the matter is that it's been the Republican party for decades, at least. It's just now, with donnie Bin Laden and those who now feel emboldened because of him, the mask is off.

It's now very difficult for the corporate bothsiderist "liberal media" to pretend otherwise - though they sure do continue to try...

Brought to you by the traitor cunts who want to install fucking trump as dictator.

Is it? What would ~~Thomas Clarence~~ Clarence Thomas say? What about Sam Alito? Because that's who they'll be asking if it's illegal or not.

I once had a philosophy professor that said "The only black person in America that hates other black people is ~~Thomas Clarence~~Clarence Thomas." And, aside from the fact that Candace Owens exists, Clarence is one of the most far right...errr...injustices on the court.

[-] rezifon@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

You know your criticism of Justice Thomas would be a lot more compelling if you knew his name.

[-] PeepinGoodArgs@reddthat.com 30 points 1 year ago

The real problem is I'm drunk. So....yeah

[-] jscummy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Problem? Sounds like the solution to me

[-] PeepinGoodArgs@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

I think I need another solution.

[-] PostmodernPythia@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

That has not stopped the right before.

[-] bluestribute@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Unless it's being used to protect school shooters, why would Republicans care about the constitution?

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Since when has the right ever (really) cared about that?

[-] ShadowGlider@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

It somehow violates two seperate parts of the 1st amendment, which would be slightly impressive if it weren't being used to kill people

[-] jackpot@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
