  Um? The conservative states have spent the last 50+ years trying to remove women's rights, they've repeatedly created "voter id" laws designed to prevent PoC from being able to vote, they're already - today - passing laws to allow schools to discriminate against and even bully LGBT kids, and they have aggressively restricted freedom of immigrants whenever they are given the opportunity. Holding up the occasional example of a minority who's actually done well, doesn't somehow undo the intentional assault on rights of people. The intentional subversion of the Supreme Court is also very clear. They deliberately blocked confirmation hearings for almost a year, and then replaced 3 justices, including a liberal one in what 2 weeks? just before the election, with extremely conservative ones. The Supreme Court now consists of an array of extremely conservative justices who were chosen for the primary purpose of revoking Roe v Wade, and from the draft it appears also the marriage equality rulings too as well. We know that they were selected for these specific purposes, because they lied under oath during their confirmations.

    Caricatures don’t make for very compelling criticism.

  Err, Florida vs Disney? Don’t say gay law? Mods to education to prevent anything that causes distress?
