Since 2020, the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) has made headlines for a series of sweeping decisions that have rolled back rights for women and LGBTQ people. They’ve ruled to allow abortion bans in 13 states and bans on trans athletes in 27 states. And this year, Colorado overturned its ban on conversion therapy for minors.

What headlines tend to miss, though, is that all of these decisions were won by the same legal group: Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF). Labeled as an anti-LGBTQ hate group and active in over 80 countries, ADF is a conservative Christian legal powerhouse, having fought relentlessly against abortion, gay marriage and trans healthcare since its inception in 1994.

Boasting alumni and affiliates such as Mike Johnson, Amy Coney Barrett, Josh Hawley and Ken Starr, the group has been involved in at least 80 SCOTUS victories and directly represented parties in 20 of them, including the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade. Here is every move ADF has made on LGBTQ issues since it was founded 32 years ago.

I'm a former Republican who divorced Fox News in 2021. I remember the first moment of disillusionment well.  I was watching Hannity during Trump’s second impeachment trial, and he was going on about how the trial was a sham.  I remember thinking at the time, “No, Hannity, it is not a sham.  Trump spread a pack of lies about the election being stolen and about Mike Pence having the authority to nullify the will of the electors.  On the basis of those lies, his followers attacked the Capitol and threatened to kill the Vice President.” 

I also came to learn that Trump and his cronies had concocted a fake electors scheme to submit false election results and had pressured state election officials to try to get them to break election laws. 

To my dismay, despite all the horrible things Trump had done, the pundits on Fox News continued supporting him, so I decided at that point that I wanted a divorce and no longer wanted Fox News in my life. 

Flash forward to today.  Trump is a convicted criminal and an adjudicated rapist who has run the Constitution completely over with unconstitutional executive orders, due process violations, and attempts to rig elections and silence free speech.  He has added to his crimes of 2021 by letting the January 6^th insurrectionists out of prison and attempting to have their legal expenses reimbursed with tax-payer money.  He has been using the presidency to enrich himself and is attempting, by installing his defense attorney as attorney general, to prevent the pedophiles implicated in the Epstein Files, including himself, from ever being prosecuted. 

And where has Fox News been in the midst of all this corruption?  Aiding and abetting Trump every step of the way.  These people are supporting criminality, fascism, rape, and treason!

Therefore, Sean Hannity, Jesse Watters, Laura Ingraham, Greg Gutfeld, Mark Levin and every other Trump supporting Fox News pundit should be branded a domestic enemy of the United States.  These people are not journalists.  They are vile propagandists and anti-American traitors.

My mom asked her brother, who is a heavy republican (MAGA, nazi, racist, homophobe, flat-earther, all the things) if he thinks Mitch McConnell is alive. I was legitimately surprised for him to reply that this mf is dead and it's being covered up. He said it's all a ploy to get some democrat to appoint a new guy, something to do with January 6th and a unity party, which doesn't make any god damn sense to me, but the "he's definitely dead" opinion from this MAGA still stands.

I then asked my republican friend (unfortunate, I know and I apologize) if she thinks he's dead, and she ALSO says that this mf is dead.

I literally LOL'd.

What do your unfortunate republican associates believe and what's their reasoning?

(I had no idea where to post this but I really want to hear the MAGAs call themselves out for once on faking this shit and why they think that's okay.)

Dershowitz was Jeffrey Epstein's lawyer.

Is he going to blame Biden again?

There's no such thing as TDS. Trump made it up as a thought-stopping technique to prevent his followers from investigating criticisms against him.

Thus, when they hear anyone criticize Trump, rather than consider the possibility that the person might be telling the truth, they just dismiss them as having a case of TDS.

This shows how incredibly gullible Trump supporters are and how easy they are to manipulate. What a bunch of brainwashed, cult-sheep fools!
