I think the republican goal is to do to America what the islamic revolution of 1979 did to Iran. At least in a way.

I think the republican goal is to do to America what the islamic revolution of 1979 did to Iran. At least in a way. The religious right wants to do this to america as they want to tell you how to act, what to read and what you can do in your life. This will greatly reduce the freedom you have in society.

Want to watch porn? Well, that is too bad!
Want to wear a dress as a man? Well, that is too bad!
Want to get married as a gay person? Well that is too bad!
Want to use ivf to start a family? Well, that is too bad! God decided to fuck you so suck it up bucko.
Want to get away from an abusive wife or husband? Well, that is too bad. Take it up the ass.
Want to have sex and use birth control or abortion? Well, that is a sin! We'll throw you in prison for using any of these methods.
Want to be a transwoman and work? WEll, that is too bad! YOu get to go to jail for being indecent.
Want to be gay? Well, they pass laws making it illegal soon enough! Look at what these pieces of shit are doing in Africa! Laws to ban homosexuality and the death penalty. wtf?

If these republicans have their way American women won't be able to wear skimpy clothing without being fucking fined or imprisoned like the old days of the 1920's or 30's. Look at some old beach photo's of woman of iran in the 1970s compared to after this revolution.

The maga republicans really want to go back to the 19th century where one worked until they died without any protections, a woman was a baby making a machine and there were very little freedoms to live otherwise. If Trump wins this election literally every workers protections of the late 19th century and 20th century is going bye bye! This election is about rather we continue forward or go back to that reality.

A commercial showing women students there in the 1969s verses today. Problem is not being anti Muslim.
