| Women--American's last best hope |
While there is rightfully much consternation, doubt, and concern with regard to the conservative justice leaked decision that will in all likelihood overturn Roe v. Wade, I think it important to remember that the last time women were this pissed off it resulted in a midterm bloodbath for republicans.
I'm talking, of course, about the Russian engineered election of Donald Trump in 2016, costing the incredibly more qualified Hillary Clinton a chance to become the first female U.S. President, which two years later resulted in historic Democratic victories in the U.S. House in large part due to enraged women who would have preferred a President who hasn't allegedly sexually assaulted 26 women. Democrats in that election picked up 41 seats in the House of Representatives.
While nothing will ever erase the stink that was Donald Trump or make up for the suffering that far too many women are going to experience as a result of Justice Alito's horrifically bad decision on abortion, making republicans pay at the ballot box this November can get us started back in the right direction. Codifying Roe and reshaping the Supreme Court will go a long way toward making America great again (to coin a phrase).
If nothing else, it will save our Democracy for at least two more years and that's two more years that the hope that America at its best represents stays alive.
Republican = Traitor
Peace,
