Yes, divided. I have an idea, states should allow abortion and republicans or weird Christians who don’t like it can not get one.

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

We kinda did just let Hitler have Poland though. It’s called the phony war. The UK and France had both promised assistance to Poland and then just didn’t help them.

Yeah…

That’s why for 80 years it’s been used as an example of why we can’t appease facists…

I mean more so the entirety of WW2 but not really specifically Poland. Most people have completely forgotten about the phoney war.

“Some states believe if your skin is brown you’re less of a person. What a beautiful melting pot America is!”

Conservatives really want shit to be like it was 100 years ago, fuck your progress!

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.

Thats a loaded question, if I say yes or no it implies that I am using sarcasm, the answer here would not be yes or no, it would be a simple “I am not being sarcastic”

Tell me that you have no idea about what communism is, without telling me that you have no idea about what communism is.
