    Yeah it’s a typical “made up issue” in order to distract from the politics that is actually important to peoples lives. And both parties are playing that game.

    I haven’t read the whole article but I can guarantee that mainstream media is also not talking about the actual mechanisms at play here. They are “in on it”. They are taking it at face value that the GOP is actually serious, and thus are helping distract from real issues. Because they are owned by the same people that this benefit from this distraction. And this emotionally charged topic is helping them to sell advertisement.

    Now that it’s actually impacting people horribly it’s the same for democrats: They could have passed a federal abortion right law, but it’s actually beneficial for them to drag it out. They could have stacked the supreme court but that is not in the interest of their masters.

    And that way papers like the independent are still contributing to propaganda.
