Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these States; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present President of the United States, Donald J Trump, is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.

    Weird how the trolly didn’t run over women’s right to an abortion due to the trolley being blue.

    Both sides are not the same.

      Weird how democrats didn’t do a damn thing to counter what they did. Codify roe? Nope, pack the supreme court with justices that arent biased and acting in bad faith? Nope. Term limits for supreme court justices? Nahhhh we can also thank RBG for holding onto that position with a death grip until the end so that a fascist could replace her with a fascist justice.

      If you think the system can just repair itself if we get out and vote harder, for candidstes that have no appeal to people with a brain because tbey are entirely owned by the same wall street military and prison industry profiteers that own and fund the right you’re living in a fantasy of delusion.

          Think about it this way.

          The Democratic party actively sabotaged bernie sanders twice because they would rather see trump elected than allow a more left leaning presidential administration to gain power. So then in reality the Democrats bare a significant portion of responsibility for the end of roe v wade.

      It did, however, break a strike despite legally being unable to and did so without challenge. So you know. Both sides are the same regardless of aesthetics like non monetary human rights.

        Bringing up some point where they’re no better doesn’t dismiss a point showing they aren’t the same.

          The effect is the same even if the targets are different. Lgbtq people aren’t ubermensch. They’re not super human. They’re not some untouchably high class. Our oppression is everyone else’s, and so on. Just because you’re now a victim doesn’t change the fact there’s the same number of victims.

          The US state and it’s owners are the only enemy. Whatever colour the puppets are don’t matter. Until you understand that you will always fail to make the world better, you will just change the current victims. That’s all that happened when Obama or Biden were elected. The victims changed.
