There are millions of people who know better not even that far or deep down but going to roll the dice across the political spectrum because they believe it doesn't matter if Trump gets in. Incredible. All across the political spectrum they don't believe the worst things to come. The women, the young women especially who will give up their bodily autonomy on a national level is the most tragic. I dread a battle between reproductive rights voters and people who will hold their vote because of the genocide in Gaza. Likely some in those groups who think arguing out loud to each other in the public sphere why they are right and the other is wrong is a good and worthwhile endeavor. I saw it a few months back (before debate debacle) on Reproductive Freedom For All's Instagram page. I think one of the issues that reproductive rights and abortion faces with it continually being shuffled around awkwardly on the left (except in feminist spaces) is because it is seen as a Democratic Party issue. Somehow abortion and reproductive rights has escaped being seen in the context of real life material realities on the left. I don't know how this gets fixed because I have not seen more framing and urgency even two years after Roe. Besides the voting it seems that the movement is still missing something big on an organizational level. I see reproductive rights talked more in liberal spaces with more urgency strangely than in the left sphere. I hate to come to that observation and conclusion but I have. Even stranger? Men in liberal, moderate and some conservatives seem more comfortable with this issue than some of the men on the left who act like they are going to wield the revolution with their bare hands in the streets. Some of the women as well. And as I said the most tragic the young women who will risk and give themselves away. Who don't know what is ahead and in store who won't have the tools and support they need to really fight. They are caught in the fantasy and concept of a struggle they have never known. The fascists are waiting and they will pull it all out from under. A small collective group banding together in dystopia will not have the training and medical training and facilities needed on a mass scale when the shit hits the fan in this regard.
