Lest we forget...
... what is the conservative patriarchy's driving force? TOTAL dominion over the lives of others. Just think Jim Jones on steroids. They are consumed with fear and hatred of the very thought of women achieving true equality, and agency over their own lives, reproductive and otherwise. That is why their campaign of dominance began with the abortion issue. With that as their primary focus, they're able to mask and misdirect attention from their determination to re-establish the subjugation of women to their will, up to, and including, repeal of the 19th Amendment, a woman's right to have her own bank account and credit cards – which they've only had since 1974! – and to even own property. All of these things have been proposed – in public – in just the past couple of years.
Now, the mental defectives that still cling to this diseased philosophy are too dirt stupid to realize that they're next. And in true Orwellian fashion, they call such draconian and restrictive intrusions into the private lives of others, "freedom."
And then there's Project 2025. Much like The Project for the New American Century of 20-odd years ago, they use bland language to make their monstrous schemes sound reasonable. They are not. Even a cursory reading of the elevator pitch for Project 2025 makes "A Handmaid's Tale" sound like a Sesame Street skit.
Do not dismiss these people; they mean everything they say. The Republican Party has never been the party of good intentions, but now it has metastasized into a domestic terrorist organization, and we are ALL in their crosshairs.
