I kinda just think it’ll overall be like when Trump was inaugurated: Large, but peaceful, protests that’ll eventually and quietly die out.

Maybe a few people will do adventurism, but not on the scale we saw in 2020 with pds being burned down n shit.

I hope I’m wrong I really do, but I just don’t think libs have it in them, even over this

People think it’ll be anything close to that?

I’ve heard that theory too, and honestly I believe it.

Yeah i have doubts that that was the intent but it’s definitely had the effect of burning off some of the outrage before the inevitable explosion when the actual case is announced

I think so many people are just resigned to it now

I kinda agree, but from what I’ve been hearing people say irl, seems like they’re waiting for the actual decision to go through, like they don’t believe it’s real at this point or that Dems will swoop in and save the day. It could easily get weird if that expectation is shattered for the avg griller.

I am concerned that it may take a whole ass generation until americans realise just exactly why reproductive rights are so important though.

They may end up needing to personally experience via friends and family which will take time

Every new economic cycle we test out whether women, poc, and lgbt people are human beings or not.

I don’t think protesting a supreme court decision ultimately makes sense in the lib mind.

Protesting a law makes sense as maybe it can encourage politicians to change the law. But the supreme court is supposedly not supposed to be swayed by public opinion.

Correct me if I’m wrong but the Floyd protest were largely against the institution of policing. The libs aren’t gonna suddenly turn on the institution of the Supreme court

Supposedly the military is the only institution Americans really respect anymore. That’ll change when the cool zone returns (which it eventually will) and when the government breaks the law and has to rely on the fucking army and marines (not just the national guard) to restore order.

Agreed, the pro-choice crowd is largely pro-:vote: .

It’ll just be women’s marches parts 2-5. There will be a few more “Jane’s Revenge” style attacks on anti-choice orgs that will end with the FBI doing an entrapment on a bunch of liberal women. In 20 years a bunch of files will be declassified that will show that like 70% of all “Jane’s Revenge” attacks were false flags done by the FBI to demonize pro-choice activists.
