[Person of Interest]

Everything was going right for Republicans in the midterm campaign. Then the Supreme Court decision came down.

1. The Trump judges don't care. They will keep on reversing as many rights as they can.

2. At least they...

Are not in session again until October 1st. That will limit their ability to make more trouble before we oust them.

3. I get it. I thought Republican-Fascists were going to

keep up their fight in perpetuity. Since abortion was the only issue for some voters, will RFs not care about elections anymore? Especially since Thomas has announced "we got this" to their base on the other social issues. (contraception, gay sex, marriage equality, etc.)

5. The scary thing is: Republicans can't continue to run for office

unless they can continue to promise their voters that they will keep repealing legal protections for human rights.

That’s why a woman’s right to vote is next.

It’s why LGBTQ protection is next.

It’s why the abolition of slavery is next.

4. Dems can blow this issue too unless we focus on women's freedoms exclusively.

Don't let this issue degenerate into the usual gray goo recipe of identity politics. When discussing abortion, we should keep our eyes on the prize: Reproductive freedom for women. And don't forget that unwanted motherhood is also almost always unwanted fatherhood.

6. Be careful what you wish for republicans, you just might get it.

Now they'll have to come up with another wedge issue for their ill informed one issue voters. They still have guns, but basically they really don't have any policy proposals - guns, abortion, and liberals are radical socialists.

7. If they want a culture war...

Let’s give them one to remember. We can start by taxing all churches and defunding their religious schools.
