This is why it's important people understand the details of the civil war.

What lead to it wasn't just "slavery" it's that the South wanted the federal government to go into Northern states and bring back anyone that was suspected of being an escaped slave back to the South. Basically they wanted federal law enforcement to go on slave raids.

They won't be happy with shitty laws in their own states, they want to force everyone else to follow them.

And this time the SC is on their side, and if we won't fix that, we need to be ready for the bullshit they'll keep pulling.

Just an aside: This is why many on the right are so terrified of "the other". They want to rule over others, so they naturally project that other want to rule over them. They want to control other people's lives, so naturally they project that others want to control their lives.

And they do this not realizing that the other they fear so much actually votes with them, not even including the other nationalities, ethnicities or races, a lot of people forgot (have been brainwashed) that their denomination of Christianity is a minority.
