We are already in a "tyranny of the minority" situation, where the far right, which is firmly in control of the Republican Party, imposes its will on the entire country. Again, I will remind one and all that this will not end with abortion, though I stand by my prediction that the Republicans will in 2025 try to pass a national law banning abortion, assuming that they win the presidency, and have control over the House and Senate (and maybe even if they don't win the presidency, assuming that they have large enough majorities in the House and Senate--watch how quickly the filibuster is dispensed with if/when they do so). Obergefell is next. It will be followed by Griswold and Loving and I wouldn't even say that Brown v. Board of Education is safe. Alarmist? Very possibly, but people laughed at me and told me that I was nuts six years ago when I said that if Trump won in 11/2016, that would be the end of Roe v. Wade. People aren't laughing now..............

Ugh! I don't want to live in a Christian patriarchal society. What will it take for Americans to overwhelmingly vote against the GOP? I'm losing hope.
