That sounds made up.

Trump is definitely a wannabe fascist and his authoritarian tendencies and constant scapegoating of minority populations while harkening back to a mythical time of American greatness and emphasizing might is right from the fascist playbook. You can blithely claim it ain’t so, but that doesn’t mean everyone else is going to forget what they’ve seen.

And if you think that the religious right has nothing to do with the battle over abortion rights in the US, then you simply have not been paying attention and should not be speaking on the matter.

So no, you’re just downvoting stuff you don’t want to hear.

I don't think you know what fascism means, and we "rolled back" rights that never existed anyway according to our Constitution, not because of any religious anything, so I don't know why you're afraid of the "religious right".

I'm downvoting bad takes and dismissing illogical arguments, as is the purpose of the downvote button. I'm trying to have discussion but that requires the other person to make logically valid points too which isn't happening.

You are truly kind. I entered, awaiting my rick astley doom but instead, a link I could trust

That was Washington in 2012. California didn’t vote to legalize weed until 2016, which was more than a year after the SCOTUS legalized same sex marriage for the entire country.

Gross

Considering we just saw an attempted insurrection by a very popular American fascist and former president and we rolled back abortion rights, I don’t think discussion of the fragility of American democracy in the face of the religious right is too off-base.

But you’re clearly more interested in downvoting and dismissing than discussion, so have a good one and stay insulated.

That's because the claim I'm refuting wasn't presented with any evidence or argument either. There's no burden of proof on my statement here. So it's really not that bold of a claim.

That’s a bold claim presented with no evidence or argument.

And it's objectively false to believe we're in any imminent danger of it right now

It’s dangerous and ahistorical to believe that American democracy is invincible and that fascism or theocracy could never happen here.

Which downvote?

What's the difference between American schoolchildren and Iranian schoolchildren?

Iranian kids die outside school while American kids die in school.
