Let it happen.

Neither Roe nor Obergefell had popular support at the time those decisions went down.  Perhaps that's not true today.  Perhaps state legislatures will pass into law what these decisions have wrought to date.  Both of those decisions have one thing in common; they created "rights" out of Constitutional Whole Cloth.  They are examples of why Americans on both sides of the Spectrum view the SCOTUS as no less "political" than Congress, and certainly not "the least dangerous Branch".
I don't know about Roe, but by the time Obergefell came around, public opinion was very firmly behind legalizing same-sex marriage and had been for at least a couple of years by that point

600k died and there was barely an electoral backlash, I highly doubt there realistically would here. Unfortunately most voters simply don't care about anything they aren't personally going through.
Trump got rejected by the voters by the second widest margin of any election in the 21st century, seems a little unfair to blame the voters for the fact that our system counts Republican votes as being worth more for some reason
