Look at how Teheran women were dressed in the 70s, and contrast that to how they're dressed now. The same future awaits American women.

    I'm sure she's just going "I literally warned all of you, and the government is using it as an instruction book."

    Yeah, no. US society is nothing like islamic societies. A faction if the rabid right thinks like this, and the rest of the right may agree to an extent, but they are aware that they can't sell that to the majority. Plus, too many women jusdges.

    All it takes is heavy propaganda that exaggerates the upsides and downplays the downsides, while shutting down dissidence.

    ''Everyone is too reasonable for this to happen, despite the fact that the people in charge of every branch of government have repeatedly made it clear this is what they want to do''

    Yes, most people are against this. Also most people are pro choice, or at the very least pro choice in cases of medical necessity, rape or incest, and most people are against laws specifically designed to ethnically clense the US of Hispanic people entirely, or laws that prevent children from accessing modem healthcare, or an unelected billionaire acting as though he's the president.

    Most people being against something doesn't mean they won't do everything to make it happen. This has been in the works for the federalist society and so called family values groups and fundamentalist Christian nationalists for my entire life, this isn't an accident that is happening now.

    You being pessimistic does not make you wise.

    It does, apparently, make you condescending. But not wise.

    And you saying "yeah, no" doesn't constitute a rebuttal. There's nothing in the Qur'an that isn't in the Bible vis-à-vis the treatment of women. The only difference between Islamic societies is that they've convinced more people to take it literally, and it absolutely can happen in the US.

    I didn't say yeah no

    I said the person I responded to was being rude to the person they responded to

    It's possible to disagree on a subject without implying the person you disagree with is a dumb child.
