Roberts didn’t want it to go down this way. Three activist justices appointed by Trump did this. Blame them, not all R’s.

And blame RBG for not retiring. And all the Dems who hated HRC and voted for Trump.

Not all R’s are maga. This decision might be a wake up call for R women.

While I’m a lifelong Dem, I’m not an AOC super lefty.

Let’s focus on bringing women and men together to fight this instead of drawing more lines.

Why do people keep saying this? How do we know we wouldn't have ended up with another Merrick Garland situation? I bet that but for Merrick Garland she would have retired.

Then blame Obama and the Dems for not fighting to seat Garland. I do. I also blame RBG.

Blame RBG for what? Dying?

What do you think the Dems and Obama could have done to seat Garland?

This, 100%

OP here- came to the conclusion that what? That I support a party whose platform is rooted in racism, patriarchy and antisemitism? What conclusion hVe they come to exactly? I’ll wait.

I appreciate that you sound like a kind person, but I’m making the “oh honey” face at you right now.

Roberts wanted it this way. It was six activist judges, bought for by dark money that Roberts okayed the continued spending of.

Republicans kept voting for this.

I think RBG was a bit stupid in not retiring, but what if she felt great up until Scalia died and then realized she couldn’t do anything but white knuckle it through the Trumpenvolk years? Republicans voted for Trump despite the truth about him being public.

I too am a lifelong Democrat, a Wellstone liberal FWIW. I’m a SAHM. I’m not some flaming liberal. But I am sick of trying to convince people that women are people, too. Having to cajole people to understand that women deserve bodily autonomy and the same rights that men are granted isn’t a fight I want to keep having with people who support the GOP no matter what they do.

No, but Rs who keep voting R have decided that they're okay with MAGA, and it's time to start calling a spade a spade.

No worries there. Your Republican friends came to the same conclusion about you long ago.

I can to this conclusion long ago. Cut them out of your live and shun them.

I have tried to be understanding toward my R friends and I can't any longer. I'm done being nice and trying to "see their side." I'm over it. The Republican party is the party of MAGA and I'm done trying to separate my R friends from the MAGAs. They're under your tent and you can no longer all yourself a Republican, yet say, but well I'm not MAGA. sorry can't have it both ways. I just don't know how to handle my R friends moving forward. In the past, I would reconcile it with we can agree to disagree and that was hard enough on issues like BLM and vaccines. Now I just cannot make any more exceptions after Roe.We don't even talk politics, but just knowing what they support makes my blood boil. Some of them are single issue votes (e.g., Israel) and that angers me even more because they choose this party for one issue only without looking at the bigger picture. I'm just going to have to find a way to still be friends and look for the positives, but I just cannot separate them from the MAGAs--they are the MAGAs whether they wear the red hat or not. ugh.
