I can’t make common cause with people who don’t believe I’m capable of making personal, medical decisions for myself. Basic human rights are not up for negotiation. They want to put mine and those of others up for debate. That’s not remotely acceptable.
They are not that far right from the Reagan era, when it comes down to it. We just did not have a mass media that actively catered to the most jingoistic, racist, homophobic, transphobic, misogynistic, etc, etc aspects of that ideology so it was not as apparent. But it was there in the Reagan era, all the same.
