But eventually most of these issues are likely to be resolved by #SCOTUS, & the court’s 6-member #Republican-appointed majority has generally ruled in ways that favor the #conservative #social-policy priorities reflected in the #redstate actions. That inclination was most dramatically demonstrated in last year’s #Dobbs decision, when the Court overturned the #constitutional #right to #abortion.

The sweeping #redstate drive to roll back #CivilRights & #liberties

Since 2021, #Republican-controlled states have passed a swarm of #laws to restrict #VotingRights, increase penalties for #public #protest, impose new restrictions on #transgender youth, #BanBooks, & limit what #teachers, #college #professors, & #employers can say about #race, #gender, & #SexualOrientation.

#Tennessee's #EricMunchel, the #January6th #domesticterrorist known as #ZipTieGuy, best remembered for climbing over handrails while holding a number of restraints, received a 57-month sentence for his part in the #Republican-led attack on #Congress.

#Carlson also called AG #DanaNessel "truly a lunatic." (projection)
"You can just throw people in prison when they disagree w/you," he said, "which she's in the process of doing…."
It was unclear what Carlson was referring to, but Nessel has leveled #felony charges against 16 #Republican (#FakeElectors) who signed a certificate falsely stating that #Trump won #Michigan's 16 electoral votes.
He said money should be spent on "destroying the teachers union in Michigan." (wtf?)

@EarlDGray Moreover, #Trump is only 3.5 years younger, so any mention of #Biden without mentioning likely #Republican nominee Trump is 1-sided b.s.

Red State Iowa gives Don the finger, and they're not saying he is #1! Donald #Trump got flipped off at the #Iowa-#IowaState game after getting booed — and he wasn’t the only #Republican presidential candidate to get the middle finger from the crowd.

This is the disgusting future of the US if we allow the fascist #Republican party to gain power in the federal government. Everyone make sure you go out and vote!
"These are the stakes: dueling visions for America — not #Democratic or #Republican... but brutal #fascism or flawed #democracy. The #news media needs to stop with the horse-race coverage...
We need to hear from more experts on authoritarian movements, and fewer pollsters...
We need the media to see 2024 not as a traditional election but as an effort to mobilize a mass movement that would undo democracy"

#FaniWillis responds to claims by #FakeElectors who claim they were following the precedent set by Democrats in Hawaii after the 1960 election. Totally different!
The Hawaiian Dems who signed false certificates in 1960, later had those certificates affirmed winners after a recount.
