The economy has been crashing more and more as time goes on but Trump’s plans sounds like they’ll push things into new a level.

That kinda buttresses my point though, no? Abortion was functionally banned already in a lot of the anti abortion states such that it didn’t really matter whether or not roe v Wade stood. In fact it being left basically intact would have been smart politics because it would have helped diffuse a leftwing backlash while still accomplishing the same goal basically.
…but that wasn’t enough. They overturned it outright because the base and their ideology demanded it, the consequences be damned. I think we would do well to remember that when speculating about how far they’re actually willing to go.
I think were both on different sides of the same dialectical reasoning, I wasnt refuting your point: I’m saying it wasnt a big ask ideologically because functionally, materially, it was already reality and I think what youre saying is that it was a big ask because while it was already reality it was still a shibboleth.
But I also think there wasnt really any consequences to be damned. We already know how far theyre willing to go, theyll do anything for material impact, shibboleths be damned.
