Curious, do you risk anything under a trump presidency or do you feel like your day to day life will be largely unaffected?
I feel like blue states will likely do what the red states are doing now. Just ignore Trump's demands. Red states are, sadly, already fucked.
I'm guessing you're in a blue state, and therefore assuming your day to day life won't be changed much under a trump presidency?
Red states are already fucked, but if trump's taught me anything, it's that he can always go lower. Some folks can't leave red states for various reasons, so voting can be a way to help improve their lives.
How? Biden isn't stopping the state level fuckery.
The fun thing about this one is if you search for lawsuits states have vs Biden, you can easily see what Biden has done to prevent state level fuckery.
In fact this just came in yesterday.
This one was from last week.
It's really putting their money where their mouth is - if these states didn't see Biden policies as being a detriment to their GOP fuckery, they wouldn't bother with suing. Therefore that is strong evidence that Biden is preventing fuckery in these cases.
Does Biden get credit for these in your books?
The GOP are perfectly capable of performative lawsuits and laws. They do it quite often actually. They're also very good about getting cases to the Supreme Court. Which is where this is going to end up. In the meantime there's nothing stopping the employer from calling the police for the local and state law violations and then firing the employee for a no show while they were in jail.
The bathroom and dress code laws themselves have to be struck down for there to be effective change.
