The Comstock Act shows Republicans are tying to nullify and repeal the last 150 years

By the Power of Comstock
I, hereby, disband the FDA
And outlaw Mifepristone
No Vaccines either
Republicans have nothing to offer the American people.

In many regards the Republicans have to outlaw Abortion, for over 40 years Republicans have been telling their conservative drones give us power and we will ban Abortion in the United States.  Now this was originally a cynical power grab by the Reaganite criminals but, multiple generations have grown up being fed this rightwing agitprop and expect payment for their work.

The Republican Party is eliminating Abortion.  The Republican Party is going to do away with birth control.  The Republican Party will outlaw gay marriage.  The Republican Party is going to make Interstate travel illegal for pregnant persons. 

Legal concepts like standing, statue of limitations, settled law, precedent are of no consequence to the Rightwing agenda.  None whatsoever.  All that matters is pushing through the Republican agenda of oppression. 

Nullification is a concept rightwingers never truly abandoned.  They tried to nullify and repeal President Obama's tenure, especially Obamacare.  Rightwingers tried to nullify President Biden's election.  Now, Mullah Kacsmaryk choose to Nullify the FDA.

But, these things get lost in the fine grain, day-to-day political writings by which the Corporate Media blob and pundit class can blissfully ignore the metastasizing threat of the Republican authoritarianism.  And act as though bad faith Republican arguments had merit and Republicans really did have a Healthcare Option to replace Socialist Obamacare, for instance.

Instead of pointing out the festering cancer which grew slowly at first and now has accelerated to warp speed the savvy pundit class engaged in bad faith Both Sides Do It rhetoric and there is no difference between the parties hand-wringing.  But, despite the media's worst efforts election after election constantly demonstrates the simple fact: Republicans Hate You.
  • Kacsmaryk's ruling was not even a joke but, a QAnon blog post.  It took blog comments as evidence and the 5th Circuit Court's deeply disingenuous save attempt was little better. 
  • This April and actions of petulant Republicans in Wisconsin, in Tennessee, in Idaho and everywhere else in this great Nation demonstrate the abject, visceral hatred Republicans have for America and humanity in general.
  • After losing the Wisconsin Supreme Court Election, basically on the issue of his draconian support of the 1849 Abortion Law, petulant dishonorable Dan Kelly, gave an unprofessional concession speech
  • Florida passed a near-complete Abortion ban.
  • Missouri Republican Mike Moon got mad when confronted about his position of parents marrying off 12 year olds.
  • Idaho passed the first step in restricting women's freedom of movement, under the guise of protecting the girls.

They pass these laws because they know, like the Comstock Act, that even 150 years later they can call upon them again when needed.  Republicans have passed the Event Horizon and now a fully-fascist organization.  At this point the physical violence is barely constrained but, they have no problem with bureaucratic violence, as we witnessed in Tennessee where Bigoted Racist White Republicans threw two young black male Representatives out of the Congress for the crime of Uppityness.  Of course, in the spotlight all manner of ethical violations, rank bigotry, and crimes by those self-same Republicans have been revealed but they face no prospect of being expelled from the Congress.

But, understand right now Republicans are barely able to constrain their violent impulses and desires by these lawless "judicial nullifications" and state laws but, the time is coming soon when such pale fair won't satiate the blood lust that every Republican is aching to sate by rounding up and murdering millions of Americans.

Fascism is Here.
