Missouri was the first state to restrict abortions after the Dobbs decision. The restrictions were major. Then, on November 5th, Missouri voters passed an amendment to the state constitution guaranteeing abortion rights. They did this while also voting for Trump. The same thing happened in Montana and Arizona. Voters in Florida also backed abortion rights by a majority, but they needed 60% to pass the referendum, so it didn’t work.
The amazing thing to me is why would the same voters who back abortion rights then turn around and vote for Trump. There is some kind of disconnect there.
I share your frustration. This podcast may share some light: https://www.samharris.org/podcasts/making-sense-episodes/386-information-social-order
