Don’t worry the next war big enough to warrant a U.S. draft won’t be fought with soldiers on the ground, so another one won’t be necessary.
Depends how much of the world Biden manages to piss off in the next couple of years.

I do believe in equal rights and protections for all sexes.

On a positive note, I heard Biden enjoys the attention of getting blamed so he has a reason to be angry.

It's very weird to me that you are blaming women and/or trans people for men choosing to not support their families and choosing to get useless degrees by the way.
I don't know why you are saying I am blaming women for this. There are plenty of men along with women that support social policies protecting men from the consequences of failing their necessary societal duties. I am glad you agree with me that creating an effectively unisex society with equal protections for all biological sexes and with societal expectations for none is not very well thought out at all.

I don't understand the point you are making about Manifest Destiny and Prohibition
My point is that winning a culture war does NOT mean it is necessarily good for society. Change for the sake of change is a terrible idea, which is why I absolutely detest the term "progressive"
There are no "sides" to reasonable moderate changes for society. That's the kind of false dichotomy that causes people to stop examining policies based on some unfounded trust of a political party.

My point being that we can tolerate or even respect people whose beliefs we find absurd, and not go out of our way to make their lives harder or more miserable unnecessarily. The gendered bathroom laws are dumb. Not allowing people to change their sex on their birth certificate is dumb. Not calling people by their preferred pronouns is dumb. Going out of your way to ridicule people for being "weird" is dumb. I believe that one day society will be more open minded and knowledgeable on things that seem foreign today regarding gender, but in the meantime I just don't find it that hard to leave people alone and be a decent person if you don't understand or accept how they identify.
Ok well here is my point. Society can accommodate religious freaks without structurally falling apart. What will cause society to fall apart structurally is to remove every unique protection for biological women by granting it to men. While it's interesting to see biological women cry foul when they are no longer allowed to have their own gendered sports league, that will be nowhere near as devastating when biological men are given the same social protections in all areas and society then falls apart when women will no longer be able to rely on men to perform the tasks a functioning society demands men do. Already we see a big problem with many men picking up useless degrees instead of the traditional trades that women refuse to do like plumbing, welding, engineering, etc. Men demanding protections when women traditionally seek a male partner that supports a family etc... We see droves of men refusing to support or raise a family, and while that kind of equality seems fair on paper, it's the stuff of historical dystopias. A functioning society enhances and promotes biological differences so that society can make the best of those traits. There is no logical reason to deny the science that different biological sexes have different brains and will always have vastly different life experiences especially where it comes to self-fulfillment, a reason for being, and identifying a purpose that brings happiness. A dying society insists everyone must have equality, despite biological differences. That's the kind of social engineering that has a very poor track record historically.
Personally I have no "phobias" about trans people. The only phobias I have is the insane social engineering involved that ensures there will be no safe space for a biological man or a biological woman. Creating a unisex society isn't something we have properly thought out enough.

I'm more than comfortable being on their side of the culture war. The question is why aren't you?
Lol, I am not on the side of any extreme wing, left or right. I see you have no comments about the manifest destiny and prohibition culture wars. That's pretty telling.

and 50 years from now most of society will consider them to be backwards bigots
I mean, you can say that but people see a lot of the extreme progressivism and sudden change 50 years ago that went way too far. Many view manifest destiny as being backward and many view the prohibition era as being backward. Moderation is vital on any side you choose.
Gay marriage is fine and moderate. (truthfully every society historically turned a blind eye to varying degrees among the elites and such)
Redefining a woman to anything with 2 legs and a dress is not.

no other Republicans have signed on to the Republican abortion bill
That is weird, and I guess it explains why Schumer proposed the poison pill version knowing anything was going to be shot down as the midterms roll up.
Maybe next year people can sit down and have peace talks.

Fox News highlight reels of asking liberals to define a woman.

"Now, up until this moment, former senior officials typically kept their intelligence clearances, because having such status allows former senior officials to be consulted by their successors on issues of a vital national security interest where their experience and institutional knowledge can offer priceless context. This is so important,"

And his speech patterns. My God, I just can’t stand it. “Look, a lot of people, believe me, a lot of people are saying X and no one ever talks about that, okay? Believe me. No one ever talks about X but we’re finding out many things, many things about X. The fake news media never talks about X because they’re fake but a lot of people… Look, people tell me, all the time, okay? They tell me all the time ‘you know more about X than anyone,’ okay? they say, ‘how did you get so smart about X?’ but no one gives me the credit, okay? No one gives me the credit…”
He whines and complains and says people are being “nasty” to him. Nasty? No one is being fair to him. Fair? “No president has been treated as unfairly as I have.” You hear that McKinely Lincoln, and Kennedy?
All of that? That’s not “Orange Man Bad,” That’s “Jesus Fucking Christ, is this really happening?”

Back up this statement with actual facts. I'll wait.
Nevin Valev, owner of GlobalPetrolPrices, says several factors influence the differences between countries, mainly whether countries produce oil and the amount of taxes they charge.
65 countries have cheaper gas than the USA right now. (even Mexico for fucks sake)...
USA's high prices higher relative to 65 other countries are not a "Global problem" as you mindlessly keep repeating. It is a local national SUPPLY and distribution problem made much worse by a president that campaigned to END OIL.

I think most people believe the latter.
That may help explain why 88% of people think Biden is taking us down the wrong path.
There's no way a moderate or independent looks at January 6 and thinks "now there's a guy who should have the nuclear codes."
Didn't they start up Nuclear PSA broadcasts in New York in anticipation of yet another monumental Biden foreign policy fuckup?
You might be shockingly surprised what the Hoi Pelloi of moderates thinks about that.

Well, don't be too surprised that you're wrong... you often are.
That's fine. I can live in a world that can never go back to the days of Roe just because some fringe people don't want to collaborate on legislation everyone can agree on. Go ahead with your bad self taking victory laps on never having Roe codified because it sucked to begin with.

If Trump had won in 2020, would gas be around $2? Yes or No?
It would probs be around 3.50

I think it's working.
It sure is. Many people want the delusional narcissist MORE than before the hearings if it means cheap gas. Trumplestilskin is more popular today after the J6 hearings. People don't care about personalities nearly as much anymore. That was a dated 2016 1st world problem.
De Santis isn't popular because of his good looks either.
acknowledging transgender people exist,
Laffles no!. They are insane for denying a woman exists.

Codifying Roe as-is without rolling back current state laws and restrictions would mean the heartbeat law stays in place. That is unacceptable. Democrats should not be compromising on that at all.
So reverting to the exact state of law right before Roe was overturned is unacceptable. Gotcha babe.
And here I was thinking you guys would do anything to go back to the days of Roe.

Why do you think Schumer felt the need to say he wouldn't compromise on the bill even though that ensured it would not pass?
but voted against the Women's Health Act.
Which was a straight up partisan bill by every measure.
There isn't going to be a "bipartisan bill."
That's a shame. No Democrat leader is going to kick Schumer in the balls for stonewalling a bi-partisan version?
Republicans will not vote for abortion protections until viability.
Did you take the time to read the GOP version or did you just say fuckit like Schumer?

Presidents do not control gas prices. To claim gas would be $2 right now if Trump won is just plain stupid.
Then why did Biden make a campaign promise to END oil?
The fact that right wingers are still talking about this man as if he were some god despite being an unstable narcissist is the point and problem.
I literally know no people that do this lol! Sometimes you remind me of Don Quixote with these pointless threads.

After you hear that someone is one of these awful things, you don't have to hear them out and engage with anything they say because they are bad- therefore everything they think is bad.
The entire J6 shitshow is all about shutting out and shutting down political opposition.
