“could be rolled back”…?
It may have been a half basket of deplorables in 2016 but everyone still voting republican is truly deplorable.
There is no justifying a Republican vote over the past 10-15 years. None.
Hillary was being kind when she said half. Go back and read it. She was pandering to them, not calling out the whole GOP.
They just keep getting bolder and bolder, and all because they never seem to pay much of a price (if any) at the voting booth. Trump's election in 2016 was a pivotal moment, as it showed conservatives they could nominate the type of candidate everyone thought would sink them, and instead he beat their personal Wicked Witch, Hillary. No more code words or dog whistles, just be loud and proud about your bigotry and ignorance. Now they're ready to achieve their longtime dream of overturning Roe - thanks to Trump appointing a third of the court in his 4 years - and red states are set to pass draconian laws that are harsher than they could have imagined just a few years ago. And it looks like they won't pay any price at the polls this November either. And so they'll just keep pushing - Roe is just the beginning.
Also, only half were showing their stripes. They all are now.

But he referred a couple of times to the “unfortunate events” of the past week, and in a question-and-answer session led by a former clerk, he said he worried about declining respect for institutions and the rule of law.
“It bodes ill for a free society,” he said. It can’t be that institutions “give you only the outcome you want, or can be bullied” to do the same, he said.
The court’s longest-serving justice said he also worried about a “different attitude of the young” that might not show the same respect for the law as past generations did. “Recent events have shown this major change,” he said.
Perhaps he should have that conversation with his insurrectionist wife.
