  • SO HELP ME DOG

    Definitely see this too, zoomers are gonna be a toss-up, especially the younger ones who casually espouse really right winged rhetoric in really casual ways (though I'm sure many of us, myself included, did this too before actually growing up and maturing outside of the bubbles we were surrounded by as kids).

    If nothing else, the 2020s are gonna be an incredibly transformative decade for America, they already have been, and it'll be interesting to see how this internal power struggle plays out for the GOP. Religious sects will probably keep cycling them back around to abortion as a contentious talking point through 2024, especially post-Roe as deeper red states attempt to tighten down abortion laws to appease these bases.

    Trans stuff will ideally begin swinging in the national eye during the mid-2020s like views on gay marriage did during the late 2000s as trans visibility increases, that said I have so little faith in this country as a whole on social issues like that that it's really too early to say with the current messaging. It wasn't more than 2 decades ago that trans issues were still incredibly taboo to talk about tho, so progress is definitely there, and more is certainly possible going forward.

    there's a high chance imo that abortion becomes an internal split within the republican party, as part of the party out of principal doesn't want to drop the issue, while the other part of the party thinks it's an election losing platform to abide to. Very similar thing happened with gay marriage; you rarely see Rs talk about it anymore since its a losing issue to bludgeon, but every so often someone reappears who says some s*** about it.
    That said, i will note that since the 90s, civil unions & gay marriage had historical polling much, much better than many modern culture war issues relating to transgenderism and schooling does now. I think the battle there is a lot harder for liberal parties, it's not really as clear cut of a culture battle as gay marriage was (not to say that battle was easy).

    I love how social media/liberals is using a tragedy of dead kids to lampoon/make fun of Texas for going red again.

    Like the voter suppression, gerrymandering, etc aint like crazy down there.

    I really hope empathy and nuance becomes something of a trend in the future, but probably not.

    Nah it’s a million votes can’t blame voter suppression or gerrymandering for statewide loss this bad

    Even if the state is ruby red tho their dead kids tantrum is still not warranted
