@saschavykos.bsky.social: Lolol no I mean like we how did we get these small protections in the first place. We got them against the same intransigent bigotry that exists now. We can do it again. Though this time around, I think there will perhaps need to be some different tactics. What we didn't do was maintain them.

Not over. As someone alive before Chevron precedent, before legal abortion, before many things being flipped back in time existed, I can say you can fight this war&win it. Again. &this time, people have sunk costs&reaped benefits where before it was theoretical. They will feel&resent the loss.

The war is over. The bad guys won.

The immediate retreat to doomerism is not a good look and we need to push back against those impulses at all costs.

It's not doomerism, it's reality, and you pretending it's not is actually part of the problem. When half the population refuses to accept what is happening is even happening, how do you expect it to get fixed, genius? What's there to fix if everything is fine?

How did it get fixed (ish) the first time?

How did what get fixed? You mean like, the French revolution?
