In reply to the discussion: MAGA Erupts After 'Disgusting' Blow to Trump [View all]

You are also right to point out that none of these referendums are even permanent. In the not-too-distant future, they’re likely going to need to be extended—since the GOP is continuing down this road with or without Trump—but that’s a whole other can of worms.
Not to mention the fact that Republican-controlled states didn’t even LET people vote on this shit. They just forced it through. Almost like they’re fucking fascist or something.
You’d think people would start to get a damn clue.
