    They’d probably reinstate slavery before they do that.

      You’ve caused me now to imagine a reality where the stupid thing that orange asshole advocates changes from “they aren’t sending their brightest” to “we literally can’t trap enough of them here” and I don’t like it

      Repealing Roe was step one in challenging the replacement theory. Get them trailer parks popping out babies.

      If Trump wins and Theocratic Nazi America implements 2025 then Gilead here we come. They’ve already stripped women of their autonomy when pregnant, it’s just a few steps until their diet will be monitored and controlled (all at the cost of the family, of course), media consumption only from a pre-approved list (dont want complications after all) which will effectively be 10 months of brainwashing.

      Give it a generation and we’ll be right back to landlords taking their tenants 15yr olds virginities.

      Think that’s farfetched? Currently on the table we have a convicted rapist, felon, russian asset for pres and his new VP, who’s obviously the guy who inspired Sublimes Date Rape. Looking down that timeline I wouldn’t be surprised if we were completely medieval in a post EMP 2028, pushing capstans to mill wheat into flour. One EMP would kill 4/5ths of the country in 90 days. 9/10s at 12 months. And even then, 33 million survivors? figuring out all the knowledge lost before they starve, id call that optimistic.

      So yea. Everything’s on the table.
