Yeah, he'll have 2 more once he wins maybe even another three if one of the last liberal justices up there just up and quits because their vote won't count anyway.

I don't know. Two of his appointees have turned out to be more moderate than anticipated. If Roe v Wade gets overturned, Republicans are done winning elections for a generation, they'd be putting the party out to pasture.

What else? The gun situation isn't going to get worse-- or better, depending on your viewpoint. No amount of restrictions or control can fix the problem, and since there are no records of most gun ownership in most states, seizure isn't realistic-- and honestly, it's not statistically popular.

Privacy is already extinct.

Health care might be paid for now, but I can tell you from experience that a lot of doctors are holding out on treatment because they won't get expected recompense-- so that's a whole shitshow that isn't being addressed.

Tell me, how much worse does it get? Things that are bad now might just get codified, but at least we can fight legislation.

Young Republicans buck the trend by about 15-20 points, but that's not the point. Three voting generations have grown up with abortion as a possible avenue in health care. It's enormously popular legislation. You want to move independents and the 45% of Americans that don't vote? Overturn it.

EDIT: forgot to link approval stats. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2020/06/18/three-in-ten-or-more-democrats-and-republicans-dont-agree-with-their-party-on-abortion/

the ongoing GOP legal effort has been to create new barriers to voting to reduce voting rates of democrat constituencies

Conservatives want Roe vs. Wade overturned, Republican Party strategists dont.

Overturning Roe vs. Wade has been a pillar of the party. If it gets overturned theyll lose one of their biggest sources of support & donations.

There is a truly astounding amount of single-issue abortion voters. Sure, most of them are going to vote straight-ticket R anyway, but there are definitely some of them who would just be satisfied and stop voting without the specter of abortion being hung over their heads every election. "Stop this from maybe happening again" just isn't as effective a call as "Stop this from happening right now."

And the hypocritical Republicans are crying about Biden "stacking the courts".

If you protest, it's because you feel your voice isn't being heard. If you riot, it's because you feel your voice is being ignored.
