11 months agoDon’t you know? All those abortions you hear about are for evil hussies who can’t stop getting with men.
But if I have complications, I get to still have a medical procedure to terminate my pregnancy, right?

You’ll hear responses like general strikes or large scale protests. I’m cynical, but I have a hard time believing anything can be done aside from voting and hoping it works.
The US is too spread out, patches of humanity too separated to make a general strike work. (what are people in rural Montana going to think when their one grocery store clerk doesn’t show up for work?)
Almost half of Americans actually want a coup so that the “right” people will be punished in a righteous fury - they don’t give a shit about reality or democracy (or even the hope of democracy).
I’m so fed up and broken down by it all.
