What Long-Held Right-Wing Goals Will Trump Make Happen?

Here are some I'm betting will be on the table:

1. Get the United States out of the UN and the UN out of the United States - The Right has pushed for this over and over again for a very, very long time. It never made any sense to me, but it keeps coming up.

2. Privatize Social Security & Medicare - I don't think there's any doubt that this will be pushed and pushed hard.

3. Shut down the National Endowment of the Arts - This one's symbolic, rather than economic, really. It has always been seen as some sort of leftist hippie thing.

4. Defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting - Another symbolic, anti-hippie thing.

What are some other right-wing goals you think will be targeted early in the Trump adminstration.

In fact the whole Supreme Court could be seriously fucked by *Rump.
