i think abortions being illegal and all of the resulting horrific consequences that are about to become very real are going to be a better fundraising tool than predicted future consequences that you have to imagine

if you think roe getting overturned is going to depress gop turnout then I'm sorry but the diagnosis is terminal democrat-brain and there is no cure.

only a democrat could look at a political party doing stuff their base wants them to do in a decades-spanning effort, and conclude that the party is finished

ah, but have you considered that now that they have achieved one of their major objectives, the gop will now have fewer reasons not to work with the democrats? a new era of bipartisanship is upon us!

Dems should just do something, anything, about making abortion legal, forgiving student debt, and legalizing weed, and ride off into the supermajoritarian sunset, but they won't, because they're literally the nervous sweating person in the zombie movie who's been bitten by a zombie but is hiding the bite under a poorly placed bandanna

In my scenario the zombie virus is centrism and the part when the Dems die and zombify and eat everyone in the bunker is the part when Republicans finally fully turn this country into a fascist ethno-state

i don't think it's republican turnout they're thinking about, they're saying that now those lazy bums who don't vote in every election will come out and vote. They're still operating under the assumption that high turnout always helps democrats because marginal voting propensity voters are mostly democrats. This supposedly ironclad rule needs to be reconsidered because a substantial amount of newly activated voters started voting so they could vote for trump. For example, turnout in florida increased substantially in 2016 and again in 2020 and trump's margin of victory went up each time. in ohio, turnout increased drastically in 2020 relative to 2016, and trump's margin of victory stayed the same. there were of course states that biden got more new voters than trump, notably georgia and texas, but at best higher turnout is a mixed bag rather than a flat +democrat vote bonus
