      The scariest part of that story is as soon as the religious right gained control they instantly nuked all the blue states.

        I used to fantasize about California joining with Washington and Oregon and splitting off from the rest of the US, but then one day I realized the rest of the US would almost instantly devolve into a dangerous theocracy and go to war with the western states who would be heavily outgunned

          The problem with California, New York or any blue state separating from the right wing controlled states is that those right wing states rely so heavily on the tax dollars collected from to Democratic states that they could never allow them to separate. Where would they get their money from?

          Yet Colorado Springs was somehow fine. The author must not know a lot of the evangelicals left COS for Idaho.

              Who are the ‘losers’ you are referring to? The American public, Democrats, the media, or just anyone you don’t like?

                The people like you who use made up scapegoats like the religious right to broadly dismiss dissent without having to actually make a grounded argument and defend your position

                  Who exactly do you think was clamoring to overturn Roe?

                  and/or

                  Have you ever even heard of The Handmaid’s Tale?

                    Who exactly do you think was clamoring to overturn Roe?

                    A whole lot of people, typically referred to as the pro-life movement. Not exclusively one or any religion.

                    Have you ever even heard of The Handmaid’s Tale?

                    Yes. It’s a mid tier piece of fiction that basically gets used in the same way as people unironically spamming “literally 1984” whenever the government does something.
