Looks to me that the GOP is confident they can affect and change election outcomes enough to get away with this and stay in power, if they are right democracy is already dead.
Is a reversal of Roe v Wade decision next?

They certainly are confident…but they’re also desperate: in a sense, they’ve already either won or lost - they’ve made no bones about who they are & what they’re willing to do, and they’ll hang for it or not.
However, at this point, their support can only erode…and their opposition can only get more charged up & focused.

Hey I'm hoping for a blue wave but the GOP are trying to pass state laws that will let them overturn the voters and with a rigged supreme court who will stop them?

I think its going to blow up in their face. If it doesn't, oh well.
Us blue states will take all your talented folks. Give us everyone that isn't a boring white kid that wants their dads accomplishments to count as their own.
For a long time I have been alright with the idea of self segregation. I didn't care for the area I grew up in, wanted to go see what was out there, so I left. Where I moved from kinda sucked, lots of crime, not many opportunities, pretty dismal future all around. A pretty small chunk depart from these locations permanently, those people are rad and who I would want as my neighbors.

The justices that are deciding on this were nominated by presidents that lost the popular vote.

Murkowski: Leaked opinion on Roe v. Wade ‘rocks my confidence in the court’
Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) told reporters Tuesday that if a leaked opinion striking down Roe v. Wade represents a Supreme Court majority, it “rocks my confidence in the court.”
She also suggested it would mean that conservative nominees gave her the wrong impression about whether they would uphold the right to an abortion.
“If it goes it goes in the direction that this leaked copy has indicated, I will just tell you that it rocks my confidence in the court right now,” she said.
Murkowski said Republican-nominated justices she met with during the Senate confirmation process told her that they viewed Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 Supreme Court case that established the right to an abortion, as settled law and precedent and gave her the impression they would uphold it.

i'm like you. it's up to the women of the US to vote for what they want now that the cat is outta the bag. the timing for the midterms is in favor of the dems i think
i'm not upset if each state has it's own rules on abortions just like we have some pro cannabis states doing what they want.
just like abbott in TX with his truck inspections. now they'll enter via new mexico and give that state all the $ that TX will be losing on fuel, food, hotels, etc.

That's really where I am at on it. I have given up trying to convince other people. You guys do you, we will do us...let's see what works. If you have acted like an asshole about that, well its going to make extending that hand hard, but I assume I would. Hope they see it the same. We have reached the put up or shut up stage on a number of fronts. Kind of a bummer due to collateral damage, but if some state wants to dump chemicals into their water because fuck the EPA or whatever, we should let them poison themselves. It's exhausting trying to stop stupid people from doing stupid things. Given how our representation is set up, with a states based emphasis, all I can think of is for people to move away and let whatever shit fall apart so those ideas and beliefs can die when they get to put into practice.
We are probably heading towards another civil war though so whatever, fuckem buy ammo.

yeah, between that truck inspection bullshit and the power outage(s), i don't see how he keeps his job.
i did love his claim that he would stop all rapes so that there would be no issues with having to get an abortion in rape cases. lol

here's outside the box:
the real repubs wanted this leaked so that trump and all his wacky candidates lose and lose the midterms and then somebody else runs for potus and not trump.

Austin is blue, Houston is Blue also, from what i've heard it's been a fight, Dallas is blue but Fort Worth is red from what i hear. San Antonio and south are mostly blue going all the way to El Paso (now that area is a fight cause it sit right on the border). Now Corpus is defintely a Red area, alone with Amarillo and Lubbock, and course like u said most of the East is Red, it's slowly turning....and i'm mean turtle speed...ok
