Do liberals get off on being talked down to like a petulant child ? Why does every single lib opinion column have the absolute smarmiest know it all tone like 100% of the time. Surely it must work if they keep doing it but damn

It's the opposite. Liberals love talking down to others. The hypothetical liberal reading this will put themselves into the shoes of the author rather than the target of the article.

This is exactly it! It's how they cope.

Makes a lot of sense to think of it this way

That's how they are raised. They tend to be nauseatingly reverential of their patriarchs (and by extension, the "great men" that run liberal democracies) as a result as well.

I will never stop pointing out that democrats basically GAVE two seats to the GOP. "We" are still waiting on that thank you present the GOP owes us for being good little boys. RBG wasn't even that good anyways, she's literally famous for the words 'I dissent', which is what a justice does when they LOSE.

The GOP is smart enough to work as a team to achieve their goals. Evil goals, but they're still hyper-competent at what they do. RBG stuck around for what? Literally a hypothetical chance she'd be replaced by Hilary Clinton and totally own the misogynists....who will probably be pissed for a day and then get over it? No doubt that day one of Trump's second term Alito and Thomas will announce retirement and replacements will be done within the first 100 days. They actually care about getting what they want.

The democrats care about getting what they want, but what they want is preventing movement to the left

searched for her on twitter (@emilybazelon)

emily bazelon did it on purpose. she isn’t “learning her lesson” because trans people’s lives are being destroyed, thanks in part to her work. she didn’t care then and she doesn’t now. none of those journalists do or they would publicly recant and fight for our liberation.

Discussing her view of "Roe v. Wade" in 1973, Ginsburg commented, "Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don't want to have too many of. So that Roe was going to be then set up for Medicaid funding for abortion."

\ wow what the actual fuck

In February, 2022, Texas Governor Greg Abbott directed state agencies to investigate and limit gender-affirming healthcare for transgender minors. In a subsequent lawsuit challenging this directive, the state of Texas hired controversial sexologist "James Cantor" as an expert witness. In his report, Cantor cited Bazelon's article as supporting evidence. The article was also cited approvingly by seventeen Republican state Attorneys General supporting the State of Florida's move to bar gender therapy or transitional treatment from being reimbursed with federal Medicaid Funds; these states are Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah.\

In 2023, the Missouri Attorney General cited the article in an emergency order to implement a de facto ban on trans healthcare for all ages.
