These fucks need to learn the momen they out of office, they’ll become a target to this, if not way sooner. It so stupid and not even near-sighted.

such shocker bills are to wear out public outrage. they overreach, get shut down, everyone gets all comfy about it and then they come back with a less overreaching new bill that represents what they actually wanted in the first place, and people will just accept it without protest.

Or they shove it into a bill about something completely different like feeding homeless children so they can attack you and call you a terrible person when you oppose the bill.

Yeah I think some of us know the game by now since it never changes. It’s just so sad that most people don’t see the patterns.
