Just think of this

If Trump wins and the Republicans have a Senate majority, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito will retire during Trump's first two years.

That means Trump will have appointed 5 (a clear majority) of the US Supreme Court. All those appointees are relatively young. They will probably all serve 30 or 40 years from now. Trump will continue to haunt this nation long after he has left this earth.

So, those voters who are in their twenties and thirties, just think of that. As bad as it will be for us seniors, they will have to live with those consequences long after we're gone.
