Given the extreme hatred of women in the USA, philosophy majors and Starbucks baristas are all wondering if Republican-led states will essentially become prison camps for women and other “people” not seen as people by Christian MAGAs.
Will such states as Georgia, Florida, Texas … well, you know the ones, it’s where they have funny accents and drawl a lot and think grits are good things to eat.
Anyhoo, will they become like Israel to the Palestinians? Certain people will need tons of ID just to drive a mile from home to work – and they’re homes might not be there for them when they get home; instead, some white Christian with full membership in the NRA and the Ted Nugent Fan Club will move in and leave his/her stank all over your couch and beds, saying that GOD told them this here was their land and they don’t want none of yo kind here.
And, since most people in US prisons are black, will more and more prisons need to be built – as a sort of extreme apartheid within a “democracy”? (Do MORE prisons make a nation “just”? Or is that one of those funny paradoxes of a democracy?)
The mind reels at how far these Rebs will go. Inch by inch, minority by minority … being anything but what one is “allowed” to be will get you 20 years just for talking back to a cop, who calls you “boy” before he smashes your headlights with his night stick. Or a Karen who didn’t like her mani-pedi so she called the cops, who were white and Proud Boys, so the women working in the salon now does nails in prison. Again, prisons are never an answer to a sick ruling power, who really should be in hospital.
America is a free country? For whom? (Is this the 1960s with cops and German Shepherds attacking peaceful protesters? The clock runs backwards, and ticks slooooooowly toward progress.)
