Mike Brawn is running to be Indiana governor this year. The race is getting more competitive despite being in a deep red state
It’s really cool how the orange bad normalized so much awful shit. They just say stuff that would have been unthinkable a decade ago and it’s considered fine. Wtf
I remember growing up and being just baffled at how violent racism was a thing. Obviously it was still a thing when I was growing up, but less so than in the Jim Crow era and before. I couldn’t comprehend how Naziism could take hold. I couldn’t understand imprisoning and killing people for supporting an unpopular political ideology (specifically thinking of communism in the US). I couldn’t understand people cheering on fascist, authoritarian leaders.
It’s been really depressing to see over these last few years just exactly how common those problems are and how easily something like Naziism can take hold, and how quickly.
Is this another “leave it to the states” dog whistle before a nationwide ban is on table?
Yes.
And Clarence Thomas is not concerned because he’s the canonical definition of a race-traitor
Absolutely. I can recognize the worst stereotypes of my race and stop behaving that way without heroizing or demonizing myself and my so called race
everyone should have more children!!! no not those kind of children!!!
“When I said ‘everyone,’ I didn’t mean THEM….”
Let’s hear what Clarence has to say.
He’ll say what he’s paid to say.
Is his wife the payer?
I think thats the dynamic he likes.
See, this is part of his long con. Clarence knows his wife is crazy, so instead of divorcing her, he’s just going to make their marriage illegal. /s
They’s miscegenatin!
Any time the federal government wants to rule on something against what these people want, but which they dont feel would be socially acceptable to let people know they want, the pull out the “leave it to the states” argument. After all, if all the states ought to allow something, then theres no difference between it being allowed by every state and by it being allowed everywhere by the federal government. Theres nothing that is fundamentally moral in one state but immoral in a different state. The only reason why you’d want to “leave it to the states” on something like this is that you actually dont want to allow it, dont think you can currently get it banned at the federal level, but do think some states would do so given the chance.
How about… no
Loving v. Virginia is another one of those court decisions that Democrats have had decades to codify into law, but haven’t.
