Yep, NRA worked with Reagan (as CA governor) to pass legislation to restrict gun access because they were afraid of the Black Panthers having guns.

Trump is just a figurehead at this point. He's not making any real decisions. He's being spoon fed ideas and things to sign. It's the people behind him and supporting him that are the real problem.
They sadly will be around long after Trump is gone.

Not an attempt. Roberts has systematically eviscerated Democracy by gutting the Voting Rights Act, opening the flood gates on corporate political spending, and refusing to address political gerrymandering.
His court has enabled politicians to pick their voters and get paid by corporations to do so.

Loot, pillage and grift.
Everything they do is towards extracting maximum value for their cronies in as short a time as possible.
If it all burns to the ground during that time... they get theirs and can buy everything on the cheap after the fact.

Abortion isn't actually a "states right" issue for Republicans.
They just know a national ban is not passable and federal funding is already restricted from paying for abortions.

My only hope is that the gutting of Chevron precedent by SCOTUS will result in lower courts being able to quickly block these measures for at least a while.
Previously government opinion would have carried more weight, in theory it no longer does.
Then again SCOTUS will do what it wants.

Clearly now she realizes a bad career and probably life move would be to remain silent.
She could have represented her constituents from the start AND stood up for trans people.
She let Republicans walk all over her for what, a modicum of political play...
It's why people tire of democrats.

Neither of which are easy.
What is easy for a group of people who lack critical thinking is to get angry at something they don't understand. Mostly because that's what they were taught to do from a young age.

People in general have been conditioned and manipulated into "fearing" trans people because they represent "other", outside the norm. Trans people make people question themselves and their beliefs.
"If I find a tans woman attractive am I gay...?"
Or question their own gender identity..

Politicians aren't afraid of trans people. They're merely using trans people to get into and stay in positions of power to advance their other objectives.
Guaranteed almost all politicians don't actually care about trans people outside this purpose.

"The pledge was part of a push for “Americanization.” Bellamy was one of many Protestant Americans of northern European heritage who believed that new immigrants from southern and eastern Europe, many of them Catholic, were harmful to the “American” way of life, and that they needed to assimilate."

The "under god" bit wasn't original to the pledge. It was pushed to be included during the red scare of the 1950s. Mostly by bigots just as bad as the one we're all discussing.
Hell even the origins of the Pledge of Allegiance are steeped in bigotry.

Duly and democratically chosen has never stopped the US from interfering before.
Some of the world's worst geopolitical issues stem from US interference in countries with democratically elected officials that the US disagreed with.

This is the equivalent pettiness of saying churches can be tax free but can't spend any money on paying their mortgage.

Zero government money is spent on HSAs. It's all personal funding.
They can't even let people who want access to abortions or trans healthcare get the smallest of tax breaks.

The restrictions on HSAs is incredibly telling of their disdain for trans people.
HSAs are personally funded and only offer a minor benefit of not being taxed on funds contributed to the HSA.
2026 max contributions are up to $4,400 individually or $8,750 for family.
