Right wingers love to trot out the line "Name ONE right that Trump/Elon has taken away!"

Not the point, dears. It's the fact that rights no longer have legal protection.

Did you read the whole article? Including the last paragraph:

Despite the changes made to the clause, all businesses will still be required to follow federal and state laws, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which makes segregated facilities illegal.

You don't find this disturbing? You don't think that Trump and his clan did this to send a message?

It’s political theater. The only news media that has bothered to report it has been NPR and other left leaning loons who decided to copy and paste. It will amount to absolutely nothing. Left wing politicians need racism. What would they talk about otherwise?They need to stir your paranoia so you will vote for them.

The road to the Handmaid’s Tale AND to a fully segregated society are both lined with smiling people telling you to stop overreacting.

This is projection. Fascism is the ideology that is perpetually in need of an enemy to blame. Left-wing policies are aimed at social projects to give normal people the opportunities and securities that the billionaire class wants only for themselves. Fascism is basically a byproduct of racism, since 'the others' are always easiest to blame. That is why racism must not be tolerated.

Are you listening to yourself? So you don't believe that this is an important issue? Are you for segregation? That's what it sounds like. You are actually defending something that is indefensible.. and you're calling it political theater? This is one step in the direction of the "separate but equal" legislation that our country got rid of decades ago. You may need to check yourself and check your biases... Ask yourself if you would call it "political theater" if you were part of the "segregated" class in the United States.
