I totally agree with you. I'm smacking my head that anyone dare act indignant at the Roe decision (which, incidentally, will not change legal access to abortion for the majority of women in the majority of circumstances-- Reason.com wrote a good piece summarizing this) when in the last year, bodily autonomy was not only unceremoniously stripped away via vaccine mandates but actually cheered on by most the same people crying "my body, my choice" now. And they don't even see it.
You're absolutely right that neither major party nor the government in general gives a rip about women-- or anyone, really. There are countless examples, as you point out. The refusal to really let that sink in is at the heart of why these controversies live on, which both parties use as convenient tools of political manipulation.
The US government is a corrupt, mafia-like organization that cannot be changed by voting either Dem or Repub, and our sovereign leaders will not allow any 3rd political party to become viable. The malevolent, 2-party dictatorship is the insurmountable problem.
I don’t know why anyone votes for any of these rich authoritarian capitalists. They have way too much power already. Why give them a vote of confidence? What is such a vote for, anyway? Trying to choose which one is dragging us all down into a complete fascist state the least rapidly?
Once again, you are right on this. It’s all a distraction by the Dems to turn the voters away from their lack of doing anything. I’ve been voting third party for years now. We are truly the Empire of Death !
I agree with you 100%. The overturning of Roe v. Wade is not about abortion. It is about enslavement of a population with certain biological characteristics, which paves the way for genocide and the death of democratic rule. Gun rights now exceed human rights. Fitting of a place where unborn rights exceed born rights! So how do we convince the younger generation and the "Sheep", who already believe the BS:"oh this means to vote blue at the ballot box this November!" Ughhhh sigh. #WomenRise #SmashThePatriarchy
My son, who I am proud to say is an Independent freethinker, does his best to avoid confrontation. But yesterday on Facebook he was trying to point out the the Democrats are just as culpable as the Republicans. Just in different ways. He took a ton of hit from the Shit Libs.
I suggested he ask them how they felt about the police lack of activity in the recent Texas school shooting. Knowing full well the people giving him shit would have been screaming blue murder about the police inactivity.
And this is where we are in 2022, where it seems a huge swath of Americans have completely lost the ability to think laterally. We have aprox 20% Trumpers who still think the sun shines out of his bulbous orange ass and aprox 20% Shit Libs who think they are Leftists because they know a black person at the PTA.
On the plus side. I can only hope the remaining 60% can get their shit together, unite and start a real political revolution.
Wonderfully written and reasoned artucle! On the bright side, more and more of us are seeing the corruption on both sides....not just on the "other" side! The system is SO rigged and so distorted. Do we even NEED "government "? For starters, we can get rid of the "Supreme" Court which abandoned the principle of non-partisanship entirely. A new day is dawning. How and what will we choose?!?

You said it! Every, single truth, every single reality. The saddest thing is- WE are truly our own worst enemy. How is it anybody really thinks voting is the answer? My money is on 'this' being yet another blow by a (hopefully) dying patriarchy. Fasten your seatbelts. We are in for a bumpy ride.
You are my hero! You are so right about the boundless hypocrisy that needs to be called out! Thank you for the truth of your words. I'm with you from NH.
The 2nd most exclusive entity in the world, and even more criminal than SCOTUS is the U.S. Senate--abolish both.

I agree with you 100%
I shared your very well expressed thoughts in Facebook.
Thanks for all the truth you so eloquently spread…
