(24,905 posts)Once people start feeling- I mean REALLY FEELING- the consequences of these laws, they will react very negatively to the politicians whom voted for them and vote them out of office. LGBTQ+ people are not going to stop existing, neither are women, nor POC. People with Uteruses are not going to give up birth control just to be broodmares for Quiverfull. They can pass whatever laws they want and it's going to harm people but people are not going to like them nor accept them and I imagine that, at some point, they are going to revolt. Either that, or they'll find ways to just leave the state. At some point, these legislatures are going to keep hunting for more and more scapegoats to legislate and when they can't find anybody else they haven't sufficiently repressed or "owned", they'll start fighting among themselves. After all, one of the more historically important reasons that the founding fathers put a wall between Church and State was to ensure that we don't wind up in a series of sectarian conflicts promoted by our leaders. I fear that we are all about to learn (even the current SCOTUS) new appreciation for why religion being imposed on everybody else by our leaders is a BAD idea.
