Someone expressing their ongoing shock that Roe was killed.
I remember when I read in the aughts that GOP parties basically controlled all the state politics to speak of, I don't pay close enough attention to have just known that, but I was kind of a USA Politics junkie at the time. Our own politics were chronically boring and not that upheaved, even under Harper.
But it radically reshaped my perception of the USA, seeing how incredibly engaged the Christian Right was in running candidates at every level, while the nominal Usian Left slept through it, satisfying themselves with Rainbow Capitalism
(ie. rather than having a problem with ~400 or so people having control of our society's economy, they just want half those people to be women and minorities)
...and sad to say, I was not and remain not shocked. None of you want to hear it, but the fascist scumbags did earn this. They were pushing pamphlets, protesting clinics, and running candidates while the "left" were indulging themselves in smug capitalist tailwinds and the Dem establishment did their insider trading and voting for middle east destruction and such. Hollywood movies with lead characters of the right genetics passed for civil rights progress.
Usians to the left of Hitler really need to stop with the entitlement, and start earning the country they thought was their birthright. Something something tree of liberty, you craven fucks.
