Trump doesn't follow through on anything he says, whether good or bad. Ever. Just hollow gibberish.

Yes exactly like his empty threats to pack the supreme court to end the right to abortion, or how he would refuse to accept election results if he lost. Just hollow gibberish right? Oh wait..

  None of those things happened. Implanted narrative.

    I’m not sure why you’re being downvoted. The surpreme court moved to make abortion a states-rights issue. This is the correct and most moderate move for any politician or political body to make on the most polarizing and most divisive issue. Perhaps the only thing better would’ve been to make it a county’s-rights issue but that’s now up to the states. Anyone that wants an abortion can just fly to a liberal state for one as long as at least 1 liberal state still exists. Furthermore, the court made it so states cannot ban the abortion pill, which can be received by mail. The surpreme court is the only section of government designed to minimize or remove bias by letting its supreme judges for life. This means the judges get to make decisions based on what they think is right decision rather than some policial leaning decision. By design, they don’t need to worry anymore about whether they need to appeal to any policial campaign funding party for a reelection bid. It successfully takes money out of politics. I’m firmly on the side of pro-choice and I’m not one to talk positively about government bodies but the Supreme Court is functioning extremely well. It’s doing a commendable job with so many intricate & difficult cases.

      "Anyone that wants an abortion can just fly to a liberal state for one as long as at least 1 liberal state still exists." Let me just take time off work book a hotel and buy a plane ticket when I can't even afford rent.

        Liberals wouldn't even grant that to Americans wishing to travel to a state that acknowledges the 2nd amendment. Liberals want guns banned in locations whose populations overwhelmingly support gun rights. It would be like republicans trying to ban abortion in San Francisco. Unequal application of power. Very bad for democracy.

        Liberals disagree about how the second amendment should be interpreted, and even do so amongst themselves. Even Republicans used to be for reasonable gun control measures not so long ago.

      You are seriously deluded if you think the abortion pill or a federal ban on abortion are not next. Also interesting how neither of you addressed the other point: he announced as early as 2016 that he would not accept the election results if he lost, he lost and he still has not accepted the results. The peaceful transfer of power is a central tenet of our election system, and it relies on candidates accepting defeat when they lose, and not cynically enraging their followers with lies.

        He accepted defeat after going through all the constitutionally protected steps to contest the results. Democrats basically took the 2000 Florida recount and turned it into the Reichstag Fire. Narrative not reality.

    You can choose to stay in a bubble because you do not want to accept anything contrary to your beliefs or look at the facts. Both did happen.
