Across Republican held states in the US and in other ultra conservative governments we see a common theme emerging...moves to restrict personal choice and erode democratic freedoms. It is a movement doomed to failure. Times are changing and whether it is pro-choice v right to life, the 'Voice' referendum in Australia, trying to ban TikTok or expelling young black lawmakers in Tennessee, bipartisan leaders will reap rewards while extremist policy makers will ultimately taste defeat. You cannot hold back the future.
