They’ve been lying about this for pretty much all of modern history.

The Civil War wasn’t because the North wanted to outlaw slavery in the south, it’s because the south wanted the federal government to treat Black people in the North as escaped slaves and capture them to be sent to the south.

You can’t negotiate with fascists for the same reason you couldnt just let Hitler have Poland, we can just let Israel have Gaza, or we can’t just let have Putin have Ukraine.

It doesn’t matter what they ask for now. If they ever get it then they immediately started the process again with something else. You have to draw a line somewhere to stop them

JD can fuck off with this states rights shit. We all know they’ll pass a national ban as soon as they get the chance.

Also, by letting each state decide we’ve created the same conditions that led to the Civil War. We even see an equivalent to hunting down escaped slaves where states are trying to prosecute women who get abortions out of state.

The right craves division and violence because they have no real policy.

Isn’t it kind of funny the party who routinely espouses individual freedumb is like, “let’s let states decide!” without recognizing the irony that it’s just one more granular step to saying, “let’s let each individual woman decide!”

I didn’t know it was the Divided States of America
