It didn't nearly implode.
The south saw roe as the first step, but what they really care about are obergefell, loving, and everything else since the end of Jim Crow.
They're already reversing brown v Boe by eliminating the DoEd and re-enabling 'Christian segregation academies'.
They thought there would be more pushback, they were shocked to learn there isn't.
No, it's not.
It's that the movement was hijacked by the failed states of the south.
We replaced Edmund Burke with the dreams of a restored Jim Crow, and politics as viewed by rabid WWF fans.
The south will destroy America, if only because they hate that they are the worst part of it.
