    Well yeah.

    It’s also the reason he told Republican in Congress to tank the strongest Border Security bill in decades in 2024 after Republicans realized, “Oh crap, Democrats are actually going to vote Yes on it!”

        Right. As it was, the entire party almost imploded following their commitment to overturning Roe. They learned their lesson that can only dangle solutions to the fears of their base, maybe address a symptom here and there, but never provide true solutions to the root problems.

          It didn’t nearly implode.

          The south saw roe as the first step, but what they really care about are obergefell, loving, and everything else since the end of Jim Crow.

          They’re already reversing brown v Boe by eliminating the DoEd and re-enabling ‘Christian segregation academies’.

          They thought there would be more pushback, they were shocked to learn there isn’t.
