I don't get why a such law took so long, but late is better than never.

I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Missouri.

I'm thinking the tipping point has been reached, the pendulum is now moving away from conservatism, and we'll see little upsets like this as rural states begin to shift back. Missouri is facing a hell of a medicaid cut which they can't afford, that may ripple for a while.

Unfortunately they have short memory spans but eventually they'll flip for a generation, like the New Deal era. People will just give up on MAGA and go the other way.

No they wont. They'll continue to blame others and refuse to accept responsibility. There will be no pendulum swing because they will keep reinforcing themselves through radical fascist media expansion.

This is a new article from 1800, right? right?

1800, 2000BC, does it matter? We are known for repeating our behaviour.

Abolish Marriage.

We don’t need the state or religious authorities dictating our relationships.

Amen, brother.

Need to do something for stuff like inheritance and visitation rights that's currently coupled (pun intended) to marriage.

That's the role of the de facto union. But the civil union usually grants you special conditions, along with your spouse.

Republican men are probably throwing a fit that they won’t be able to legally groom and rape children for “family values” anymore
