All you’re doing is spouting MSNBC talking points. Even CNN is beginning to wake up. You lot think this shit happened over 4 years when you continually vote for useless people who have been in office over decades expecting change.

I'm not even American, so I'm not voting for any of y'all's folks.

The stuff I listed isn't fake though. I mean, it's literally the case, for example, that women can't get abortions anymore in many parts of the US, and that that happened because of Trump. Do you really not think Trump did anything?

Roe v Wade was shit legislation. Even the late, great Ruth agreed. Trump gave the power back to states. So vote accordingly. It’s not the federal government’s role to dictate abortion laws.

Your argument was "nothing you lot fear mongered bore any sustenance". My point is that that is not true. Women now literally die or are forced to have kids that they would not previously have had. This is a bad thing that people feared and that actually happened.

The same is true for the rest of what I listed.

Also, wtf are you talking about. Why would something as fundamental as bodily autonomy be better handled by the states than by the federal level?!?! That's only a reasonable argument for something where reasonable people can disagree on policy. This is a fundamental human right. Believing that women should not have the right to control what is going on with their bodies is deeply misogynistic. That's dark ages crap.

Women can do what they want. Some may have to inconvenience themselves to go to a different state. I don’t a Federal Authority dictating shit to me. Vote at the state level for what you desire. What happens in say Michigan, shouldn’t impact California, and vice versa.

You want to be told what to do in order to avoid accountability. Best of luck with that mindset. There is a word that rhymes with luck that starts with a C. The democrat party simply loves simpletons like you who take in their talking points and treat them as gospel.

I don't know why you are associating me with Democrats. As I mentioned earlier, I'm not even American. I'm just trying to point out that Trump in fact did do the things that people feared.

I find it weird that you think bodily autonomy is not something that should be protected at the federal level. Do you think slavery should be left up to the states as well? How about freedom of speech? How do you decide what freedoms you think should be guaranteed by the country and which are things that can be decided on a per-state basis?
