    These extreme right wing fanatic religious nuts, are the ones that make me doubt humanity will make it past a few generations more.

      It will if we don’t let them get away with this.

      Protests do work. There are more of us than them, and we don’t have to passively let them do this to us.

        This anti abortion thing is a symptom of a larger problem IMO.
        Trump actually has a chance of winning! Think about it! The narcissist psycho Donald Trump, a proven criminal and traitor, actually has a chance of winning the next presidential election!
        Russia has gone completely fascist and anti humanitarian, invading a peaceful democracy for seeking closer ties to EU and NATO.
        Slovakia recently elected a Russia friendly government.
        Netherlands elected a fascist government. Who helps Putin, and wants Netherlands out of EU and NATO.
        Italia elected a fascist leader last election.
        Hungary and Bulgaria are actively undermining EU and try to block aid to Ukraine, and want “better” relations with Russia.
        Argentina together with much of south America is turning extreme right again. Almost as iof they want their old military dictators back.
        China under Xi is trying to dominate Asia including militarily in the China sea now, their rhetoric regarding Taiwan is becoming ever more aggressive. and Xi has gained powers in China comparable to what Putin has done in Russia.

        The optimism after the Berlin wall fell, has turned into a nightmare, where instead of freedom spreading east, fascism is now spreading west.
        At least Poland took a minor step back towards normalcy, and prevented the “Law and Justice” party from forming government again.

        Of course this could begin to turn around, especially if Putin and Xi loses power somehow. That could end a huge catalyst towards fascism in the world.
