Lol, the Republicans have the SCOTUS, Congress, and the Presidency. Exactly what is it the Democrats are supposed to do?

MODERATORS
Be as obstructionist as the GOP has been for the last 30 years. Be loud, annoying, and refuse to compromise on human rights.
Media once again blaming Democrats for the Republicans' attacks on Americans
Democrats don't have the votes, lmfao.
Filibuster is getting gutted, it only needs simple majority to remove.
Also, the VP as President of the Senate can just ignore the parliamentarian, so they wont even need a vote to abolish the filibuster.
Didn't the democrats have the opportunity to remove the filibuster in the Senate and chose not to?
Democrats play by the rules, republicans don't. They don't need to remove filibuster. Senate rules are enforced by the senate parliamentarian, whom the VP as President of the Senate can overrule.
The federal government is only one locus of power; they have the majority in many State legislatures.
Republicans aren't going to cut trans healthcare. They are going to cut everyone's healthcare
But by framing it as attacking trans health care they will gain the support of the R masses. Gotta say I'm getting bored of watching leopards eating faces.
They don't even need to label it as trans healthcare....just "illegals are taking your healthcare, so we're going to stop them"
There are no votes. There’s a trifecta.
It means birth control, ACA, social security, Medicare, HIPAA, overtime, no fault divorce, federal labor laws, the department of education (and it’s mandates regarding special needs kids, safety checks on Wall Street, and lots of other things could be gone by next Christmas.
Wow. Embrace reality. It’s a weird headline that doesn’t track with reality. Like Roe as soon as the document was made public, it’s already gone it’s just not official yet.
You forgot marriage equality
No, I just realized I couldn’t type everything. There’s a lot of things listed out in project 2025.
As is, I expect where President Musk and the Heritage Foundation meet most is in forceful increase of fertility rates. So that will likely be where they start. As a non breeder odds are you’ll be overlooked for a short while. But only a short while.
Not that it really matters, but you shouldn't assume I'm gay just because I support marriage equality.
That said, "non breeder" is still accurate lol
You are right.
Buckle up because all of that is true. Hell going worse then that.
What’s surreal is watching Korea defeat their dipshit dictators martial law and knowing none of that will happen here.
Imagine being so dumb that you blame everything on the democrats.
Yes, they will happily let trans healthcare be gutted as they "learn" from this election and continue their inexorable move to the right.
Liberals and appeasement go together like chocolate and peanut butter.
Solidarity is all that keeps reactionaries from taking over.
If they don’t self destruct, gop is going to be doing whatever the fuck they want. Dems can’t do shit.
They can do quite a bit in states where they control state government.
Will Democrats Let the GOP Gut Trans Health Care?
Yes.
The real question is, will the public? Unless there is at least anger in the streets, also yes.
Oh fuck right the hell off JAEL HOLZMAN.
