Oh...if their wasn't a viable GOP candidate, the Dems would have to work harder to be the less evil.

if it had succeeded, the main effect would have been to make it more obvious that the United States is not a democratic country. And the President would have had a different face and different bizarre mannerisms.
I think you are downplaying how "more obvious" it would be. The veneer of civilised society may be worryingly thin, but it's still vitally important.
In case you are unaware, the ruling and the reasoning for Roe v Wade don't make sense because the Constitutional reasoning they gave has absolutely nothing to do with their ruling. Their ruling just mimics early American and English Common law, it's basically nothing more than "you're not allowed to change from the old ways". If you read the whole ruling, they spent twice as long talking about ancient Greek practices and English Common law than they did identifying a Constitutional right to privacy. When it came to historical record, they had no issue tying modern medical practices to the literally ancient concept of "quickening", where the first movements of a fetus (usually in the second trimester, this is where 15 weeks comes from) were for centuries seen as the first indication of the soul entering the body. When it came to "the right to privacy", they cared so little to identify it as to say at one point "Although the results are divided, most of these courts have agreed that the right of privacy, however based, is broad enough to cover the abortion decision."
It should not surprise anyone who has read the decision that their conclusions match the historical precedent they wrote about at length and have no connection to the right to privacy that they needed to exist to justify the ruling without particularly caring what that right was based on. The Supreme Court made one of the most noteworthy court rulings in history based on what Aristotle thought about souls. And for reasons beyond my comprehension, culture decided that banning abortion is a conservative view.
Yes, why did Green Day have to insert politics into American Idiot?
For those who may not know, Green Day played for New Years in New York. They changed the lyric "Don't want to be part of your redneck agenda" to "Don't want to be part of your MAGA agenda".
EDIT: He deleted his post, but shame is eternal.

Awesome on Green Day! I admit to not being into their music much, but those guys have musical talent. They did nothing wrong.

Still eagerly awaiting for them to catch up on figuring out what all those RAtM lyrics were about here too lol

Anyone who would suffer if the US decided to turn their fascism dial up a notch. The US as it currently is is by far from being as bad as it could be, or it might be.

And who is responsible for all the new crime policies that don't actually punish criminals that are increasing crime? The average person that is overwhelmingly not in politics cares about political violence? You said countless people live in fear of violence from the far-right, where (in America)? The majority of people in fear of violence are not concerned about the far right. How has the far right infiltrated the military and police? This is like conspiracy theory tin-hat shit you're going on about.
Why would someone murder me for political reasons? Sure, if I do get murdered for that somehow, the far right is probably more likely, but the chance of getting murdered over politics are so freaking small. In fact, I don't think I've probably ever met a Nazi, you guys act like Nazis are like Hydra or some shit, they're not. I'm sure I've met more socialists and communists than Nazis in my life.
"Far left" is just people who want to steer the country much farther left than the average person wants, same as the far right. It's not just people armed with guns wanting to do direct violence to others.
The far left making the world more disordered just leads more people into believing in far right ideologies.
Why wouldn't right to privacy over any medical procedure not be an valid argument in court?
The fact that Roe makes no sense to just abortion itself, let alone anything else that can be applied to it, makes it a pretty poor ruling.
I'm not that surprised because I looked into some SCOTUS ruling once (can't remember off the top of my head right now) and I'm surprised how much time was wasted in arguments that had no relevance. I'm kinda of surprised that happens at the highest level. I was a juror on a criminal case for case on excessive police force and at least 90% of the trial was wasted on stuff that had no bearing on our decision. You'd think that stuff would get filtered out as you move up to higher courts but I guess not. I care about the actual justification vs whatever the majority of time was spent on. Like if right of privacy is the justification (which I believe you're saying), then applying that to other medical things is pretty dangerous.
Edit: Oh, it was gay marriage ruling I was reading about and the actual court arguments/transcripts. I forgot exactly what was the main argument (in amount of time dedicated) but it was something generic like happiness or something. To me, gay marriage was simply an equal opportunity issue because married people do get advantages to being married and excluding others from those rights is a violation of equal opportunity. Thus, either allow gay people to marry or just have the government not officially acknowledge marriage. But that was like the last main argument when that is literally the only argument that needed to be made IMO.
