"The strident voice told us that if Roe was overturned, the Republican party was in deep trouble and out of power."
While we Republicans certainly appreciate Mz. Ratner and the MSM attempting to assist our party's success, we've done quite well over the past 13 years without them, thank you.
The REAL reason these talking points exist has nothing to do with abortion. The Dems couldn't care less about that issue, other than using it to scare women into voting for them. No the real fear on the part of the Dems is that if Roe is overturned, two things will happen: (1) The sun will rise in the East tomorrow (i.e., the country will be just fine and the Dems will be fully exposed for their lies that they used for decades to scare this country); and, more importantly (2) the Dems will lose their strongest card in their deck (i.e., being the courts) to turn this country into the pig-sty that Europe has become. Even worse than that for them, a couple of conservative rulings on states rights and we could wind up with a federal government that only does what the Constitution allows (and requires), which is essentially national defense, border control, foreign policy, and federal courts (roughly 30% of today's federal budget).
That is the real Democratic fear - the end of an oppressive federal government. Abortion is just a convenient tool to keep that government in place.
With Alito and Roberts on the Court, we need just ONE more justice, and we very well may see that day - and the Dems FULLY understand that.

.....That is the real Democratic fear .......
My take was she was expressing that fear by making the three year olds threat "I won't invite you to my birfday!"
