Showing Original Post only (View all)Trump voters may be ignorant, but they proved to be smarter than Dems about one thing: the courts [View all]
Trump voters were at least savvy enough to know that the courts were a paramount issue, something important enough to look past a candidate's outrageous, illegal, disgusting behavior to vote for him anyway because he would give them the courts they wanted.
On the other hand, Democrats - or, at least a critical mass of us - refused to vote for the candidate who would protect the courts because she wasn't perfect enough for their tastes.
And now, here we are, watching helplessly while Trump and McConnell completely and tragically reshape the federal courts in their image for generations to come.
If you don't understand the impact they're having or think this can easily be corrected when we take back power, note this: Ronald Reagan left office in 1989, but more than 150 of the judges he appointed are still serving as active or senior status judges on the federal bench.
Lesson: If for no other reason than than the courts, VOTE, dammit!
