Red states are remaking the civil liberties landscape

[OKTexas]

The difference however, is this. Progressives do it through cultural change…Cons do it through legislative fiat.

Actually you Regressives do it through judicial fiat, overruling the will of the people.

[OKTexas]

Do you want a theocracy?

Religion and the family are the first thing you commies attack. And since you've probably never read it, and just so you know, our Constitution protects against a theocracy.

Nope, you Regressives are the ones doing that too…activist judges going back and overturning rulings you don’t like solely for partisan purposes.

Good job passing legislation curtailing free speech, never thought you nutballs who whined about private entities “censoring” would actually pass laws doing exactly that…Big Gubmint (when it suits ya).

 

[Rogue AI]

Ya…you guys are only for civil liberties and free speech when it is your own.

Or Canadians truckers. The leftists showed their their true colors with that fiasco. We will not forget lefty calls for violence, theft, and the literal trampling of innocent folks voicing dissent.

States where the GOP controls both the governorship and state legislature are moving in unprecedented numbers to restrict abortion, limit access to voting, ban books, retrench transgender rights and constrain teachers’ ability to discuss race, gender and sexual orientation at public K-12 schools and increasingly at public colleges and universities.

Many of the same states are simultaneously rescinding restrictions on gun ownership, stiffening penalties for people engaged in unruly public protests and, in a new twist, empowering private citizens to bring lawsuits to enforce many of these initiatives, as Texas Republicans did on their recent law banning abortion after about six weeks.
[…]
…with GOP senators wielding the filibuster and the Republican-appointed majority on the Supreme Court both providing powerful air cover for this red state ground offensive, Democrats and groups focused on defending civil rights, abortion rights and LGBTQ rights, among other issues, have not yet found any effective means of slowing the conservative onslaught. Even as the nation grows more racially, religiously and culturally diverse than ever, that means roughly half the states are on track to impose rules across this broad array of cultural flashpoints that primarily reflect the demands of one shrinking group: conservative and often older White Christians.

Analysis: Red states are remaking the civil liberties landscape

From Florida, Georgia and Tennessee through Texas, South Dakota and Montana, Republican-controlled states are approving a torrent of culturally conservative hot-button legislation at a pace unmatched in recent times, and probably ever.

Call it the balkanization of our rights and protected liberties – where the rights and liberties of Americans will no longer be protected in states controlled by Republicans.

I am glad I live in the Free State of Florida.

I can't imagine what it would be like to live in one of the Commie states.

Fascist lefties are so evil it oozed over our border into Canada. Empowering Trudeau in his anti-freedom campaign against his citizens. The reality is you folks wanted our government to do the same to any Americans that voice dissent against the faux Biden regime.

 

[Wyatt earp]

“You have an emerging generation that is multiracial, multicultural, where no single ethnic or racial group is the majority, and it has struck an existential fear within [conservatives] who are used to controlling everything, from the boardroom to the White House. So what we are seeing here is people playing on that fear of that graying generation that votes with regularity and feels as though something is slipping away.” ibid

Of course, nothing is ‘slipping away’ – conservatives’ fear of positive, beneficial change, of a multiracial, multicultural America is as unwarranted as it is destructive.

What are you talking about?

 

[Dragonlady]

The dems wanted a war...well they got one...and this is what it looks like....

The Republicans are the ONLY group talking about war. And the Russians. Coincidence???? You can't get people to vote for any of these restrictions, so you impose them anyway.

Holy shit! You mean to tell me that guns are popular and unlimited killing of children, voter fraud, porn in schools, men beating the shit out of girls in girls sports and the indoctrination of our kids isn’t looked upon favorably in fly over country? How the hell did that happen!?

Speaking of people NOT being in favour of the unlimited killing of children, 80% of Americans favour reasonable restrictions on the sale of firearms, including limits on magazines, and military style weapons whose primary purpose is to effectively kill people, quickly. There were no school shootings during lockdown. No one.

Another effective method of saving innocent children, would be to provide universal health care, and nutritious school lunches for every child in schools. The USA has the highest rate of infant mortality in the First World, and the highest rate of maternal death in childbirth.

If you gave a rat's ass about the "unlimiting killing of children", you'd favour gun control laws, universal health care, and school lunch programs for all schools, but you don't favour any of those things. You'd want pregnant women to have mandated maternity leave to spend the first year of life with their babies, for the best health of both.

What you favour, is controlling women, punishing poor women for having sex, and showing women who's really the boss. You're not fooling anyone.

All of the things you favour, limit free speech, personal freedom, and individual rights.

Are you saying that you are against democracy? State legislators pass bills and governors sign those bills into actual laws. That is how democracy works. Voters vote for their representatives, those representatives make laws, and future elections decide if they want to keep those same legislators or elect different ones. Why are you against democracy?

There were no school shootings during the lockdown when the schools were closed and empty which means we should get rid of the second amendment. Did any of your fucking brain cells survive the 60’s drug binge?

....because real Americans are against murder, know that voters should be required to show ID, realize slut has no place in school libraries, and that alphabet people are truly either male or female and subject to only those rights. Idiot.

The idea is to never make it multiracial, multicultural, inclusive, nor any other far Left bullshit. Assimilation into American culture is how it is SUPPOSED to be. When you come here, you adapt to America, America has no obligation to adapt to turd world "immigrants"

Trump's SCOTUS picks stopped most of Biden being a Fascist here. Many Blue cities and states went full throttle Nazi though. Couldn't believe it when New Orleans did it............

But from what I've heard everyone ignores it anyway.

Theres no right to abortion. There's no right to engage in unruly protests (AKA riots). Transgender rights? WTF does that even mean.

Teachers don't have any business discussing race, gender and sexual orientation (Critical Race Theory) in class. Teachers exist to teach kids HOW to think, not WHAT to think.

Bringing lawsuits for, or against the laws in our country is plainly stated in the 1st Amendment. It's literally a right.

From what you're describing, it sounds like the Conservatives in those states are taking their states and ultimately the nation back from the Communists on the Left who wish to destroy The United States.
