. . . and the patriarchy was smashed.
We're riding the backlash.
The current GOP wants to go back to the good old days of the patriarchy.
That's why they want to outlaw abortion, make medicine expensive, and dismantle the regulatory agencies created by the New Deal.

This really clarified it for me

Others have a different worldview.

Between infrastructure, gun safety, CHIPs, and the PACT Act, all passed in less than a year, I can't recall a period of so many big and substantive bipartisan accomplishments for Congress.

This is astonishing, yet not surprising. If it feels like you're far less safe in NYC than ever before, it's not bc shootings are up. It's because the media (fueled by lies & fearmongering by NYC Mayor Eric Adams) is up. Look at this chart. Red line is shootings. Grey is media.

187 Republicans just voted against American manufacturing and for Communist China.
That’s after Senate Republicans told wounded vets to fuck off.
The GOP is in legit disarray. Does the press know how to cover that?

It's pretty fucking funny that after so many trump promises to get Mexico to pay for the wall, President Biden got Mexico to pay $1.5 billion for smart tech to enhance border security.

Point being, fascism eventually comes for everybody. Not just trans people or people of color or women seeking abortions. It comes for the relatable people. Everyone who's not actively helping the party in power.
