A president with 3 million fewer votes than his opponent won and appointed 3 SC justices who were instrumental in doing something that has an amount of bipartisan disdain rarely seen in this climate.
I'd put on my tinfoil hat and wonder why overturning something both sides have anything close to agreement upon was so damn important. Add in that the Trump justices were blatantly lying about their intentions to do so and, well...hard not to assume we are sliding down a slope.
Plus people can be pissed about this, but the GOP can still clean house in the midterms and further show that unlike Dee Snyder, we are gonna take it.
The slippery slope argument keeps popping up in this discussion, for obvious reasons. I have to say I find it amusing in the sense that many on the left routinely scoff at the slippery slope argument when it's applied to things they don't like, like gun rights. I'm not accusing you of this, but it's an extremely prevalent attitude.
