i wish everyone would get rid of the assumption that the constitution will protect you
"that's unconstitutional!!!" doesn't mean jack shit anymore
Every maga is downplaying his shit right now. “Not gonna happen” is what they all say.
Yeah just like roe overturn didn't happen 🙄
Ok ok, so maybe it will happen, but it surely won't affect me.
They'll deny it until it is happening and they feel safe to admit they believed him and wanted it to happen.
Yup. This exact shit has essentially destroyed my relationship with my parents. I can only ignore the repugnant politics for so long and up to a certain point before I have to reconsider if I want that hatred and bigotry in my life.
I've noticed many Americans also talk about those 'unalienable rights' like it's some law of nature. They're not unalienable. Having rights is not a given. Ask many groups of people throughout history. You only have rights as long as others respect them. Where are your unalienable rights when you're grabbed off the street in a black van and taken somewhere without anyone knowing? When your fellow citizens / your government decides you shouldn't have them anymore? If rights were unalienable, why are they dependent on borders?
Sometimes I think people feel too safe. Otherwise they wouldn't accept others losing their rights so easily. They still think they won't/can't lose their own.
The constitution is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules.
