One month after Missouri approved a constitutional amendment guaranteeing the right to abortion, legislators have proposed a flurry of bills to tighten abortion access or raise the bar for future amendments driven by voter initiatives.
Always maddening to me how, on the very same ballot, people will vote in favor of a proposition or amendment and also vote for a candidate whose platform is, “I will repeal or overturn this amendment.”
Because there was a colored lady on the ballot.
And the American public is quite stupid.
We really need to update our state motto. We stopped being the show me state a long time ago. It should either be, you can’t show me. As in we have no interest in knowing. Or the show you state. As in we’ll show you stupid.
I agree. We live among incompetent fools.
Remember this next time you see all the maga folks with “We the people” stickers on their cars and windows.
The party of small government and respecting the will of the people, folks!
This is probably going to be the pattern - political push and shove, repeated enacments and dissolutions, with the public who need it most in the middle. Again I say, fuck politics and fuck politicians.
Probably going to be the pattern? This is all they’ve been doing since at least Bush. Before that, I wasn’t alive, so I can’t say for sure
Reagan just ran roughshod over congress.
But wait how does this make eggs cheaper?
The GOP win the culture war. The Dems win the policy war. But the culture war always comes out on top at the ballot box.
