could be! But since this 'dems in disarray' meme is being touted by the MSM (that skews right), I rather doubt it...
I think overturning Roe is what will be the clincher...Because until this horrid ruling is revered, it will be a liability to republicans..And the longer it stays in place, the greater the liability
Fascists ALWAYS overplay their hand...Push too far
Yes, well, the problem is they're going to have to keep doing it, because these people don't just disappear once they lose. You have to keep fumigating every election cycle. Whether they have staying power remains to be seen, though I'm certainly rooting for them.
It's not so much revolting as it hasn't proven to be a viable strategy...maybe it will be more so now. The one time it sort of worked, it elected a bunch of new dems who voted with the republicans and lent them "even the dems" cred.
This will be an election of tiny margins. Dobbs can give us the 1-2% we need now.
The irony will actually be if we prevail and stop the ruling from having real effect by codifying Roe nationally, once again saving Republicans from themselves...but that is a story for another day...
I've toyed with the idea of teaching history at our rural Georgia high school, but I'm oldish, and impatient, so it probably won't happen. If I did teach history in this place, I would ask the students to spend a week or two compiling their own personal family histories--how long has your family been here--what church do you go to (rural GA, y'all)--do you know your country-of-origin ancestry. Then each kid would take it back, and I would use my own history as an example: parents--cotton mills in Piedmont--before that, Carolina mountains--before that Ulster Scots--etc. We would look at the great social and political forces of those time periods that put our ancestors in motion. This could work for Black students, as well--maybe especially Black students, since so many share the last names of White people who have been here for generations. Anyway, it's just an idea, but it seems like it could crack open young minds to critical thinking about "who we are as a nation" without ever mentioning CRT or saying "America's done some messed-up things" or anything else that threatens certain people's need to play Pollyanna about our past.Personally, I find American history so rich and so complex and so compelling that I think people who do NOT want to take a deep dive into it are emotionlly stunted.
He screwed that up -- and I'm going to guess his first mistake was not the high-handed thing he said that was certain to aggravate the MAGATS' collective oppositional.defiant disorder -- it was completely disregarding the multiple suggestions from his staffers & advisors of color who gave him ten dozen other suggestions about what to say instead.
"Yt" people?
Burn them!

Oof, my bad on missing her title and using "Ms".

Cockroaches are like that.
It got us Joe. They had all votred for Trump but now they wanted him cleaned out and Joe was the broom.
They then down-balloted R's because, of course, they are not really allies, but they can be provoked to vote correctly , albeit for the wrong reasons.

They seem to have staying powered this one just fine.
Maybe turn your attention & concern to the white people demonstrably falling down on pushing back on fascism in the whole *rest* of the country.
