The satanic temple efforts are also still ongoing, so it's still too early to say.
After all, making Republicans violate the first amendment often enough will cause the party itself to fracture violently, making it incredibly easy to get them voted out of office and replaced with (hopefully) more reasonable people. Honestly, they could still be Republican for all I care as long as it's not the Qrowd.
This is hopeful thinking. I'm tired of hearing this. If we have learned anything is that no matter what, the republican party falls in line every time. Regardless of disapproval or whatever as long as it pisses off dems they'll fall in line.
Then stop being hopeful and stay miserable about it, it's still not gonna stop me from saying it. I'm well aware that the Republican party votes purely based on spite, but I'm still gonna stay optimistic where I can. Endless pessimism hurts you and you alone.
I'd rather not lul leftist into a false sense of security. That's what gets us underperforming and getting people like trump elected. We need to remain energized and keep in mind what is in stake. Roe V Wade, for example, is already under massive threat. We can't keep pussy footing around small issues when our rights are being threatened right now.
i think what they were getting at is that these are important things to think about, but that your mental state day in and day out doesn't have an effect of their outcome and being stuck in that "mode" can be hurtful to yourself after a while.
I think whatever mode is spending most of your day being willfully ignorant to a situation can be hurtful. I just view it the opposite way, the endless optimism has kept us from making any real changes.
I never mentioned that I’m an optimist. Thinking about it all day gives you no more control over it that I do. Only difference is I’m not pissed all day thinking about it.

Doubt.
That’s the problem with these challenges, it assumes that logic is somehow involved in the process, whereas in reality logic left politics years if not decades ago.
This request will get slapped down and if anything the GOP in Florida will be stronger for it because “the libs tried to ban the Bible.” Looks nice on campaign literature.
