Y'all, this is why you need to vote, including your local races. All an ideology like this needs to grow is fertile ground, a propaganda apparatus to spread it, and a willing legislature.

Vote like your lives depend on it, vote like your families' and friends' lives depend on it, because it very well might.

Voting is one of the few things people have the power to actually do to fight this shit. So fucking do it. If you can do more than just vote, then do that too - but vote.

Worse case scenario, it doesn't matter and you waste some time. Best case scenario, you save your community from the very tangible evil that is on video in this article discussing how they want to fatally punish women for seeking healthcare.

Our system is broken as fuck, but that doesn't mean we should just bend over and take whatever these chistofascists want to shove up our ass.

they want to fatally punish women

Murder. They want to murder women. No need for euphemisms.

Worst case scenario, we continue to lose rights in this state until my whole family is illegal in one way or another.

Maybe you misread my comment, or maybe you just want to feel good about yourself, but I never said don't vote. I implied not just voting.

This is no longer, darn we lost territory. Wake up. Do more than echo empty sentiments in leftist echo chambers.

If that's actually your intent, I'd recommend rewording your initial post. Even re-reading it, it stinks of encouraging voter apathy, which (as you seem to already be aware) is self-defeating.
