I fear the culture war will turn to being a WIDELY hot war. Real bullets. Real dead people.

[Stinky The Clown]

[shrike3]

1. It may well come to that.

[Samrob]

2. And what will be different from now? This is already happening. Justice has to step up. nt

[bluestarone]

3. Could be right. Plus

WE know they WILL NOT care how they kill us! If anyone here attends a protest, keep eyes and ears open ALL THE TIME THEY want us DEAD.

[malaise]

4. Will be

That's what they used to reach today's decision - they bombed clinics and killed doctors- they are using terrorism

[RKP5637]

12. SCOTUS is now a Domestic Terrorist Org. and it will get worse, NO right to privacy in the USA.

The domino effect will go on. The future of the US well may be so sad.

[sop]

6. The police will do the shooting.

[RKP5637]

7. Just a matter of time. The heat is there and the escalation. Apparently that is a wet dream

for the GOP and SCOTUS. Other countries will be walking right past the US in technology as the US battles over these damn culture wars carried on by the control freaks and authoritarians of the US. Vote as many out in November as possible.

[viva la]

8. The 60s was like that--

Not so extreme as, you know, Beirut in the 70s, but major assassinations, the police and FBI killing activists, the KKK killing civil rights workers, Weathermen bombings, and urban riots.

[Stinky The Clown]

11. That was my young adulthood

[RKP5637]

13. Same here! n/t

[viva la]

16. At least at the end, we did get Roe--

1973.

I still can't believe they did this, and John Roberts went along with it.

[viva la]

24. Yes, it's infuriating when they make a point that "there is no privacy" in the constitution

You're right-- LIBERTY is privacy-- we are free to make decisions in our private lives.

Not to mention that the weird amendment about how we can't be forced to quarter troops in our homes definitely carves out a zone of privacy and PRIMACY.

When it applies to WOMEN, of course, somehow none of this is quite as important as when it comes to "rights" that are more macho, like getting to walk around with an AR-15.

[viva la]

31. But wait! "Guns don't kill people."

They are, after all, just another limb for some humans.

[electric_blue68]

52. I was in my early to later teens.

[Irish_Dem]

9. The GOP is already killing us in the war they wage against Americans.

One million covid deaths because the GOP was against masks and vaccines during a deadly pandemic.

Murder of children in their classrooms.
And innocent adults going to church, the grocery, to movies, etc.

It is all collateral damage in the war they wage against us.

Yes there will be more dead people and real bullets.
This is why the GOP wants so many guns out there.

[Kaleva]

10. I wouldn't be posting on the Internet anymore if I thought there was a real possibility

At least not posting about political and current events.

DU could be hacked and our real names be made known to those who would wish us harm.

But because I don't think there'll be a shooting civil war, I'll keep posting away.

[live love laugh]

14. It already has. nt

[RockRaven]

15. It's only been half a day and they're already hitting people with pickup trucks...

So yeah.

[bucolic_frolic]

18. That may be right

They've stolen the power by seizing the Court, now they must stifle voting to protect their investment, and suppress protestors perhaps with random violence.

[OAITW r.2.0]

21. The end game is legislating election results with SCOTUS backing.

I think the future hinges now on full voter pressure that overwhelms Republican efforts to discount votes. That's what a One Party State needs to destroy Democracy. They are Legislating and got the ultimate legal OK in place.

[OAITW r.2.0]

28. Republicans have been running a political laboratory on how to steal elections since 1970's.

CA and SA. We knew this 35+ years ago.

[OAITW r.2.0]

32. Pretty much game over, unless we overwhelm in 2022 and 2024.

If US Justice supports minority rule, they support undemocratic rule. All bets off.

[OAITW r.2.0]

47. You got the last word.

Chapter Over.

The Next Chapter:

Revenge of the people that have been paying attention since 1972.

Yeah, a WW2 Bomber Pilot was not the right image....Richard Nixon! Fuck that and fuck all that came from this evil political Republican virus, that started infecting our political dialogue in 1962. The choices since Nixon have only gotten worse.

[electric_blue68]

53. If I remember correctly George McGovern didn't want to make a big deal out of ...

his war record.

McG was was my first Presidential vote (and ai did some volunteer work). My first vote as an 18 yr old was
in '71.

I was so devastated by his loss, I gave up on campaign volunteering for a long time, and volunteered for various issues.

[OAITW r.2.0]

20. The Big Losers are Blue Women in Red States.

Lets see how this plays out in Nov. of 2022-> 2024.

[Tree Lady]

44. Or women who are young, poor or just not

Paying attention and they don't vote at all. Not thinking their vote matters until it does.

[OAITW r.2.0]

45. They better learn, quickly.

They are the targets of SCOTUS. Poor women with no options. Surprise! Your pregnant and your thoughts don't matter.

[dflprincess]

22. We know that today's court decision will result in more dead pregnant people

bullets will not always be needed.

Though, a person is most at risk of being murdered by their partner when they are pregnant and the court also made it easier for the bastards to get their hands on a gun.

These two decisions will kill a lot of people.

[OAITW r.2.0]

29. You know who the #1 Abortion provider of all time is?

God. No other entity is close.

No wonder the subject is never mentioned in the Bible.

[Eko]

23. It's already been real bullets and real dead people.

Widely is hard to define, I will say it will increase. How much I don't really know. The Rebubs are certainly making things more dangerous in multiple ways so take care of you and yourn and at least think of what emergencies you may encounter so you are not caught unaware.
Eko.

[maxrandb]

27. As long as Joe Biden commands the Carrier Battle Groups

I say, bring it!

and I trust Joe to be like Washington. Kick the shit out of some authoritarian Dipshits, serve two terms, and peacefully transfer power to the next sane person.

[OAITW r.2.0]

33. Joe set the table today.

Only question is, who's coming to the Party? I am....planning to spend 15X my monthly $100.00 budget.

[ecstatic]

35. I wonder if that's who Garland was referring to, right wing thugs who want to break up protests?

Because he certainly couldn't have been referring to supporters of reproductive Rights.

And yes, I agree that a real war is coming. That's why they're arming as many of their people as they can. They're thinking 10 steps ahead of us. We really need to wake up and quickly.

[ecstatic]

38. I'm too nervous but I'll definitely cling to my gun toting

DEMOCRATIC friends when all hell breaks loose. I think my dad might have an AK too.

[Fla_Democrat]

42. Interesting

[Nevilledog]

40. RWNJs want to kill us.... Doing it just like the George Floyd protests

Link to tweet

[First Speaker]

36. If there's a second civil war, it won't be like 1861...

...it will be more like Northern Ireland on a continental scale. Terrorism and counterterrorism, with a very shaky political system constantly on the verge of total collapse. I should say the odds of this happening are about 50-50 in the next decade. If the Court really goes all the way down Clarence Thomas's path, and goes after gay rights and birth control, the odds of social collapse go way over 50%...

[OAITW r.2.0]

49. There will be no overt civil war with easily defined regions.

It will be rural vs. urban....in every State. Ruralism is largely a culture that values generational locale. Intellectual inbreeding is a problem in rural societies. I know, I live in one.

[rockfordfile]

43. hahahaha I don't think so.

"real dead people?"

[Celerity]

51. You just had 'real dead people' executed in Buffalo by a neo Nazi, which I can assure

you was absolutely part of the culture wars.

Same for the El Paso white power executions a while back.

And Shittenhouse, the little murdering fuck.

Etc etc etc etc etc.

[JI7]

46. There are already dead people . Including a lot of dead kids like those shot in their school

[KentuckyWoman]

48. That happened as soon as Europeans arrived.

We just keep picking a different group to blame for our troubles. I don't expect to be alive when the 99% in the world finally stop being divided by the predator class.

[Initech]

50. Fox has been upping the violent rhetoric to dangerous new levels. It's getting scary.

It's seriously time to declare Fox a hostile foreign enemy.
