I dislike him even more than the orange maggot. He is so cruel, evil and despicable. And really ugly inside and out.

"You can't destroy a dream, you can only wake me up."
Somebody needs to tell little Ronda Santis that not even he can destroy an idea.

(205,169 posts)5. Well said.
His vision is to be able to legislate what and how people think or feel or what they're allowed to say. He wants to restrict what children can learn, eliminating the parts of our history that he doesn't approve of. There are countries in the world that operate under these restrictions, but they're clearly not democracies. Makes me think of the Middle East where they're cracking down on freedoms for women - is that next on his agenda??

His anti-abortion actions, his anti LGBTQ discriminations, the female politicians, lawyers, judges, teachers, librarians and epidemiologists he's targeted for retaliation because they dared to disagree with him. The history he's trying to re-write will definately impact the achievements of women if they are women of color.
