    Under which president was Roe v. Wade struck down?

    This one.

    And who put the Federalist Society justices in place who struck it down? Oh, that’s right. Donald fucking Trump.

    Under which president have abortion bans in many states popped up with complete inaction from the federal government? Under which president have anti-trans laws popped up with complete inaction from the federal government?

    This one.

    What powers do you think they have? Laws are struck down by the judiciary, which we’ve already established has been captured, thanks to Trump.

    Here’s a question for you: who has been enacting those laws? What is the nature of the legislature in those cases?

    None of your gripes here are Biden’s fault, unless you’re wishing he’d be more authoritarian (fuck that). Trump is 100% to blame for the current state of the law, and helping him get reelected isn’t going to help LGBTQ people or women’s rights.

      Joe Biden had more to do with Clarence Thomas being on the court than any republican

      And what did Biden do in response to Roe being struck down? Oh, that’s right. He made statements about how he’s against abortion.

      What powers do you think they have?

      Executive power, dummy. The actual power to do what he wants to do with federal resources. The court only has the power to talk about what he does after the fact.

      unless you’re wishing he’d be more authoritarian (fuck that)

      LMAO WELL THEN SHUT THE FUCK UP IF YOU DON’T WANT YOUR POLITICIANS TO EXERCISE AUTHORITY DIPSHIT

      Why are you pretending to give a shit about politics in the first place??

          so he seems to be authoritarian enough to bypass congress to send billions of dollars of baby killing devices to Israel but not authoritarian enough to try and stop the litany of fascism laws across the country.

          Have you considered that maybe Joe “I do not view abortion as a choice and a right, I think it’s always a tragedy” Biden just doesn’t care all too much about women’s reproductive rights, and that Joe “Were there not an Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interest in the region” Biden also really wants to unwaveringly support Israel.

          The reason he doesn’t put up any more than a token effort to resist the rise of fascism in america (and in fact is actively expanding presidential powers and the power of the state to suppress political dissent) is that he doesnt care about fascism. If he did care about fascism then why is he prioritising supporting fascism in israel so much that he’s going to throw the election to the fascist party by completely alienating the same muslim voters who won him the election in 2020?
