They absolutely will not. The United States will become a one-party state.

No it won’t. There would be beyond massive backlash. The unrest and protests would make all previous in this country look like nothing.

Yes, just like Americans accept not having universal healthcare. Just like Americans accept the electoral college. Just like Americans accept gerrymandering. Just like Americans accept corporate lobbying.

Americans get abused on a regular basis and they just take it.

I doubt they'd ever get the votes, gay marriage is hardly the hot button issue that abortion was.

I put nothing past Republicans anymore. They are determined to be as extreme, mean and evil as possible. Democrats should play their game and refused to have abide by courts that ruled their gerrymanders unconstitutional.

Well, it doesn't matter what I think if you're just going to sit there and take the status quo. You want gay marriage? Then you should've elected people who actually mean what they say like Bernie Sanders instead of the usual callous crop of corporate Democrats. This is your fault.

Gee I wonder if the website that's been infiltrated by Russian bots since 2012 has legitimate info. Especially when they're at war with Ukraine and have already previously used technology to attempt to character assassinate Hunter Biden in a deal with Ukraine?

And because the voters are morons. People deserve what they vote for.

Naturally you're referring only to Republican voters and not the poor minorities who have been voting Democrat for the past 50 years because this time they'll definitely eliminate poverty, reduce crime, and improve education!

My fault? The party supports gay marriage. Your just happy at the idea of me and millions of others being second class citizens. There will be hell to pay if your lot comes for my community's rights.
