The line would be the blatant hypocrisy and authoritarianism of Texas, which ranks dead last in personal freedom in the United States. It's the big lie of the GOP, that they even try and pretend to give a shit about freedom and liberty.
Texas crossed that line so fucking far, they'll never find it again. They've gone plaid.
The Texas anonymous tip line to turn in neighbors like North Korea or Stalin's USSR (which they already setup today) is being flooded with shark spam, lol. Abortion is legal for certain reasons btw in Sharia Law, so the Taliban in Afghanistan will have more lenient laws than Texas. It really is becoming the Texas Taliban.
Also, an avalanche of frivolous lawsuits from this are going to flood the state courts and truly bring it to it's knees. You could almost ignore it because even if you get sued it's going to be heard in ~2050 by the time the Texas courts get around to it.
Plus this just set a precedence for all kinds of things that are going to backfire badly on conservative interests in states. $10k fine for COVID non-compliance will be #1 and just the tip of the iceberg. Tax dodging would also be a great one. Report your neighbors. No need for evidence. No compensation if the claim is false and they win. The Trump SCOTUS insanely and effectively said states can make whatever law in the world that they want, have the public enforce it, and it can bypass Federal courts all other precedence. I don't care if you are Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, non-political, or w/e, I would hope people understand what's coming now in other laws because of this. This was a scorched earth, cut off your nose to spite your face move by Texas. It empowers states legally now FAR beyond anything our founding fathers intended. For example, guns can also easily now be effectively banned at the state level with this precedence by copying the Texas anti-abortion clinic blueprint. A state would simply need to say every gun shop in the state now requires something prohibitively expensive or impractical, then empower citizens to anonymously turn in gun shops or neighbors selling/buying guns for non-compliance for huge lawsuits. It has just opened a path for states to indirectly get around the 2nd amendment.
Massive dubs are happening in texas
It's crazy how fast people turn from supposed Bernie supporters, into diehard Trumpsters, as soon as the election is over.
Imagine, swearing that Biden was just not progressive enough, to cheering on fascists inn just a matter of months.
My, how times have changed. So, why'd you suddenly decide to become a conservative?
lol all Yang supporters are not so subtle neolibs to the point of being solidly right of center. so of course it makes sense they all share the same desire for the state to control everyone and tell them they know what's best. even if the pint boils down to punishing and controlling women.
