    Ohio:

    Well now that it’s in the Constitution we can vote MAGA again.

      You think MAGA is voting for abortion? I’d like to see the numbers on that. I know some of them just want to watch everything burn but I also think most MAGA are aligned with the christo-fascists.

        I think you misinterpreted what they said. They were implying the MAGA crowd may feel confident voting MAGA again now that abortion is enshrined in the constitution. Many of them may vote for all kinds of things, but abortion rights are fairly popular.

          I guess I’m just not aware of how MAGAs feel about abortion. To me they’ve always seemed aligned with Christian conservatives (chrito-fasicists) in that abortion should be illegal. I could be convinced otherwise, if there was data to show it.

            I think the thread here is that maybe they care about abortion, or maybe they don’t, but they very much care about winning power through elections.

            And they know they’ve been on the loser side of the abortion issue. They’re ready to drop it and move on.

            I’m not totally sure on the far right, but republican voters, particularly women, generally still want abortion rights protected. It’s why so many elections have been favorable to democrats lately. I’m not sure why the hell republican politicians still do things like they do with abortion and weed, for example, that Republicans generally are in favor of.

              Is that really because of the MAGAs? I mean it could be. I just haven’t seen the polling that proves it. To me, once they went Trump they were all in. I just don’t see many moderates that have admitted they fucked up. Maybe that’s just human nature.

                I’ve seen some realize their mistake, but yeah I think you’re right that a lot of the MAGAs don’t really care. That said, a good number probably decided to just stay home if I had to guess. I haven’t seen any data though.

        Conservatives will happily vote for the face eating leopards when they don’t even have a veneer of protection, this state level protection is great but will ultimately remove a reason to vote blue from the extremely self interested voters that don’t mind the rest of the regressive platform.
