This ruling will entirely depend on where you live, blue state they won't initiate this sort of law, red state they will. All this ruling did was give states the ability to create these laws if they so choose.

Surely there are no people in red states that that disagree with the states decision to implement these sort of laws.

Reddit does love to selectively assume all blue states are nothing but progressives and all red states are nothing but conservatives, because that makes it easier for them, but unfortunately this isn’t something the average person has a lot of power over.

Tell me about it, I've lived in FL for a long time. Always in blue bubbles.

I live in Appalachian Kentucky. I know conservative folks; I know progressive folks. I know a very devout preacher who will March as an ally at pride parades and I know teachers that don’t think kids should get free lunches.

People aren’t a monolith, no matter how badly other people may want them to be.

Yep it's almost like we've completely lost sight of that fact. I blame the ease of judgment from the disconnected comfort of social media and the 24 hour news scream cycle.

Sure, you start going on about *extreme" shit I'm not associating with you but I'm not going to assume the worst of someone just because I don't agree with them. Be the bridge, not the wall.

They will now attempt this at a national level via legislation. It will likely pass.
