An actual quote I saw today posted on Twitter: “Florida is a conservative Christian state, and they voted against murdering unborn babies. The democratic process is complete. They can leave if they want to do that.” There’s a lot to unpack there. I also got into an argument with the guy who posted it, who claimed somehow that it’s not ok for Federal government to regulate Women, but if states wants to do it then it’s ok, and they should just leave to another state then. like… wow. America is a strange place

    I think the tiniest sliver of silver lining is that republicans seem to want states to decide on a whole slew of things, meaning that any anti-trans legislation likely won’t mean I need to leave the country, only sell my house and move to another state and pray I can find a job there.

    This timeline sucks.

      No, they want states to decide on issues they’re losing federally but still let the fed decide things if they’re winning. There is no consistency, just temporary workarounds.
