There was a reason Obama choose not to confirm Roberts and now the country is understanding why.
ZootSuitRiot33801 on
For this reason among many others, we common folk who care shouldn’t be betting everything on elections. Time and time again, the system has proven we can’t depend on the system alone to rein in its masters and their sycophants. It is up to us common folk to help each other wean ourselves off our reliance on a system with the propensity to side with oligarchy, while standing against the unaccountability and the nefarious attempts to normalize further it by the Epstein class.
Instead of betting the whole farm on an election, (which might not even happen if this regime gets its way,) we should _also_ focus on forming real supportive community-based foundations for alternatives, which many common folk in the US can fall back on, to safely commit to any long-term meaningful action needed.
Collecting a bunch of valuable information on organizing and action from different redditors over time, I created a post of suggestions [HERE](https://www.reddit.com/r/Neo_Libertatia/s/TPFuL3fOWx) that could possibly prove to be of some help in getting it started ASAP.

One of the greatest villains in American history. The single most important force in ending the American experiment in pluralist democracy. Taney 2.0 and incomparably more corrupt.

I’ve been thinking about this for a while. The Roberts court will not be looked at kindly down the line. Sure, right now, the right wing of this country is celebrating their continued racist, sexist, and close-minded rulings, but eventually this fever will break, and eventually (and this one is a ways away unfortunately), the court will somehow even out. But the Roberts court will be viewed as one of the most backwards, reductive courts in American history.

Most racist Supreme Court in a century. Voting to allow Kavanaugh stops and legalizing gerrymandering against minorities and destroying voting protection for minorities is sickening. Literally the Klan court.

It’s clear that this country needs to be redone from the ground up. My hope is years from now when the dust has settled from the destruction they have caused, we can rebuild to what I was taught in grade school. Currently justice isn’t blind, we are not all seen as equals, and the American dream is dead.

You know, they really should stop wearing those robes. This is feeling way too much like my puritan village elders crying heritic at everything that moves and saying thee or thou alot. All they need now is a weird black hat with a big square brass buckle on it.

Affluent white males run this country and this supreme court is making it easier to keep it that way.
There’s a civil war coming and it will be because of the race wars and class wars that they are attempting to deny. Eventually the people will have enough and finally be willing to fight back.
No-Marsupial-7385 on
So from my understanding of this, a group of government congressmen can get together and create a map that helps one party more than another and that’s perfectly ok as long as they don’t use race as a defining decision?
Why does race enter into it? The party in power shouldn’t be able to create maps that help their party more than the opposition.
Why is this even being handled by anything other than an algorithm?

Fuck it. Impeach and remove the whole court at the earliest opportunity. We need to finish reconstruction and wipe these losers from political power in perpetuity. They dont like democracy? Great. Then they dont get to play.

If JR is a Christian, it’s would be epic to be able to watch the conversation with God at the gates. Pretty sure JR will suddenly be remorseful and wish he had a do-over. I hope he is sent to be roommates with the Koch brothers in their Jr Penthouse Suite in the pits of Hell. The Presidential Suite is already reserved for Trump. Epstein is currently keeping the bed occupied with Satan himself, waiting for the 3rd part of their menage a trois.

He should never have a moment of peace for the rest of his life.

What is the political “Right” even concerned with these days? It seems to me that their singular focus anymore is “owning the libs” though whatever means necessary. Culture war seems to be their greatest source of both concern and entertainment.
Meanwhile the pillars of hard work, victory, and success that our country is perched upon are crumbling. We are bleeding our nation to death while competitors are doubling down seizing the Economic, Scientific, and Foreign Policy territory that we as a nation are losing while Trump and his Republican enablers are taking us on this unhinged bender to nowhere.
How many generations will it take to regain what Trump and MAGA have lost us in just a couple of years?
