Any comments in protest crowd sizes. I’ve been watching for what looks like big crowds but haven’t really seen them.
What I’ve seen are bigger than Biden rallys but still rather small.
The average swing voter has the memory capacity of a fruit fly. From now until the midterms is an eternity for them. Worry about whatever is going to happen two weeks from election day.

I'm not going to predict how important this issue will be to people in the fall.
I'm not going to predict how this might affect turnout for either Democrats or Republicans.
What I will do is note that I expect the media to say that this will be a huge issue in the Fall.
And then, when Democrats get 81 million votes in every race and sweep the elections and retain control of both House and Senate, the media will shrug and say "We told you people cared a lot about this."
It's a good cover story for the next steal.
They have all three branches right now, granted slim majorities but majorities nonetheless - let them bring it to the floor for a vote to legalize abortion in all 50 states! They won’t because they know they can’t get it to pass. This is just a fundraiser talking point for them now…
Precisely!
There are all too many who are still playing "My team" vs. "The other team", when in fact they're effectively the same team, and neither one is working very hard for better laws and better government.
Our first President warned us about the trap of party politics.
Yep. We need to have reasonable restrictions on abortion. 15 weeks or 30 weeks. Each red state (and purple) needs to decide. Get that issue out of the way. Focus on the issues that Joe Biden is drowning on, he is trying to pivot away, don't let him do that!
If anything, we might be gaining a lot more minority votes than usual. A growing number of Americans of color are getting tired of all these woke white leftists shoving abortion and the LGBT lifestyle down their throats.
Won’t it motivate Republicans to vote more also. I mean at some point one has to decide am I going to cave every crybaby protest the Left brings or am I going to spite them and stand my ground. Are we going to be a country of laws or the favorite burning protest of the moment.
Exactly right. Conservatives will be even more FIRED Up now in marginal districts/states where a Governor, AG are extra state legislator can make the difference on protecting human life. Any GOP “strategist” saying otherwise is a Democrat plant as far as I’m concerned.
“...this development could increase Democrats’ chances of avoiding a total shellacking in November. ...”
to the contrary, the pro-abortion crowd is not as large as they would like for us to think. I believe the protestors are tuning away the sympathetic and the shellacking of the left will be even greater.
Exactly
and yes it motivates the pro life voter more than the pro abortion voter. Studies have shown.
But your point stands regardless. Comes a point where it doesn’t matter. We are talking about the direct killing of babies here.
Rassmussen says R+ 8 on the generic ballot that always
favors Dems by a lot.
It is going to be a red wave by +60 in the house and 54 R’s
in the Senate.
People hate $6 gas - the big guy did that
People hate inflation
People hate unvetted illegals by the millions, it has
elected the first Republican in a D Texas district in 150
years. Hispanics don’t want more job competition from illegals.
People hate shortages of things like baby formula.
People hate Dems rioting and looting only in Blue states.
People hate high tax Dems states, states like Texas and Florida still dodn’t have state income tax.
If this rages for 5 more months the republicans will pick up 150 seats ROFL LOL.
I don’t agree at all.
Unless someone like McCarthy pushes making this a federal issue and advocates interfering with the States - to which most people have understood the issue to have been returned - we’re still fine.
As someone else has said, none of the ragers in the streets were going to vote Conservative anyway. And many Conservative voters tend to be moderate on this particular issue while also being strict Constitutionalists, and will probably see this decision as a very good thing.
No. but Dominion voting machines and the DNC will.
Stop! The red flag law bill was passed in Florida. It’s been a complete success and DeSantis is more popular then ever.
Are you better off this year without the constitutional right of abortion?
Or Are you better off this year with inflation and Joe Biden?
Whichi one of these questions has legs?
“We’re screwed...wish this ruling would’ve come after the midterms. “
Abortion effects VERY FEW people, less than 5% even think of it as a significant issue.
This ruling happened precisely when it ought to have happened. The rage, vandalsim, burning and violence that we’re about to see will remind the electorate that law and order are of utmost importance.
In addition, the inflationary tsunami will continue its assault on ALL income levels. Gas and groceries will continue to skyrocket, a recession is a foregone conclusion, the housing market is collapsing, rates are rising.
Abortion is am opinion for most and nothing more.
The rabid left will turn off more people than they will attract.
November 2022 will be a political reckoning that will expose Biden as the fraud that he is.
