Rare Ohio W
they protected abortion rights too recently. Is Ohio on a redemption arc?
No idea. This is the most frustrating thing like the average American is basically a communist when you really drill down to their real beliefs, but the systems of control and fog of ideology just create this barrier to ant real democracy. As I understand it the governor vetoed this basically because of a mass harassment campaign on his office lol.
are trying to protect abortion rights, it’s a mess with the abortion ban still being law but made unenforceable by this constitutional amendment but also GOP members of Ohio’s general assembly are doing something with the implementation of the referendum for a constitutional amendment that may make the ban enforceable so the matter hasn’t been settled yet

Republicans have figured out that this is a losing issue for them.
not the Ohio legislature, where gerrymandering keeps them safe. Most of rural Ohio should be napalmed, it can’t be salvaged.
Guess I’ve got my new answer for the next round of, “Why aren’t you involved in organizing your local community?”
My local community is up for napalming! Why bother?
a small stop in the march towards the inevitable
[Ursula Le Guin quote].
Conservatism’s inherent fault is that its core centers around maintaining a status quo.
Status quos are never eternal. There is no End Of History. The dam will break, like with Jim Crow, like with the 2000s referendums to ban gay marriage in state constitutions. The only question is whether each of us are willing to push up against the wall as much as we can.
