Esp. those who know economic anxiety (The one where you have to choose between groceries or utilities not the conservative "economic anxiety" where right wingers simply don't want to work alongside black or Hispanic people) is not a reason to become less inclusive or less progressive.

We've given too much power to one man, and now we're seeing what happens when you give this power to an unstable and morally and financially bankrupt man. And the 'funniest' part of all? Trump's POTUS powers aren't divine or genetic, we agree that he has them, and voila, he does. The sooner we realize this, the quicker we can take that power away.
