I’m of the opinion abortion is horrible at 1 month or 9. You have the Supreme Court. Guess what they won’t do? Overturn roe v wade. Far too useful to use at as a wedge issue to keep gullible Christians in their camp rather than simply overturn it.
I actually agree Roe won't be overturned despite the 6-3 majority the Republicans have in the court.
However, the "OMG Roe gonna be overturned" was mostly used to scare the left, not turn out the Christian right. The idea was that we need Biden to win and get all 3 houses, so we can pack the court and stop this.
I think where we have the disconnect on left-nutjobs versus right-nutjobs is the policy proposals on the table (or laws already passed). Under 4 years of Trump, nothing particularly extreme occurred. Trump himself behaved poorly and like a crazy person at times, but when you look at laws passed and attempted to be passed, there wasn't anything too fringe or insane.
The crazy left positions I mentioned earlier in this thread were all major "change the country" talking points in 2020 from major Democratic politicians. In fact, some of these already happened (such as the police standing down due to woke Democratic mayors telling them they had to).
I don't deny an insane, conspiracy-driven contingent of the right exists, and that it has grown in the past 5 years. I'm stating that these are nobodies on social media, with zero power. The craziness on the left has actually made it into the plans of major Democratic figures.
