    Roe was decided in 1973. Still not codified. We finally got civil rights, but nominally and look what happened to that – backpedaling. Marriage equality finally happened, now we have targets on trans backs. DACA? 😶

    I see what you’re saying. If the left could run on everything that United unites everyone, while quietly working in the background like the heritage foundation and teaparty have been since JFK that got us where we are today, maybe it would work. The Democratic party were not doing that, though. They were just playing controlled opposition.

    Assuming we can still have elections, this may be a workable idea. I guess when press prods, an evasive “right now we have a lot of damage to undo” may work. Then just start un/doing everything by executive order. Thing is, leftys are suspicious af after watching what the Dems did and didn’t do since FDR. It would be a hail Mary for sure and may very well backfire big-time.
