Is that so. It hasn't looked that way to me, from the news. More, it's looked like people getting paranoid that it's that way. But I typically only see big news from America, and not from many news sources. What I see more is Trump being a ridiculous bully, making a mess of relations both at home and abroad, and Musk doing the nerd equivalent, trying to solve government bureaucracy as if he knows everything and damaging everything in the process, not heeding anyone's caution. But not micromanaging society.
But if it is, I don't think that's what the Repb supporters see, and this sort of comparison is about how one picks and chooses certain aspects of the two sides to compare.
How is restricting access to abortions, birth control and healthcare not micromanaging? How is abolishing gay marriage and trans rights compatible with "imma leave you alone to do your own things"?
I don't think that is micromanaging at all. Abortion: federal level has fought for it to be ruled at state level. That's lifting restriction. State level: those states which have restricted it, are doing it on the idea of protecting the life of the foetus: that's restricting specifically what appears to them as killing another person. Birth control: not restricted, is it. Healthcare: removing or changing federal subsidised healthcare: that's not restricting or micromanaging! It's just removing a good thing! (Yes, I think national healthcare is good.) Abolishing gay marriage: hasn't happened. Trans rights: "you should use your identified gender bathroom" Vs "you should use your birth sex bathroom" is not one more micromanaging than the other.
And, believe it or not, these are not the only things going on in America. Again, if you pick and choose, yes you can make an argument one particular way. Doesn't help you help anybody else though.
Its only restrictive when the feds do it, okay.
Abolishing gay right hasnt happened, but is something conservatives clamor for at every twist and turn. Conservative justices write opinions about how decisions regarding the accessibility of birth control should be limited, but i guess thats not restrictive either.
And i am sorry, did you just pretend that the entirety of the conservative debate around trans rights is about bathrooms? No, they dont want trans people to exist. The feds just said "There are only two genders." How tf is that not interference?
I mean no offense, but you are doing the exact thing you accuse others of doing. Trump is micromanaging by picking and choosing who’s free speech and who’s rights he’s going to protect and fucking over anyone who doesn’t care to bend the new if it’s news stations collages or whole groups of people. idk if you have seen recently but he’s straight up sending people to prison labor camps without do process. Look all im saying is that sure maybe at one point the republicans were what you said they were but they have gone so far off course that they have lost any ability to claim they are granting freedoms to any groups other then the hateful and intolerant
