(16,140 posts)for victims of a crime, not the perpetrators. We will be lucky if we can get through a trump precedency (lol) without a massive war. I hold no illusions equal rights will only apply to straight, white men. The more money they have the more rights they will enjoy. The attack and dismantling on SS, Medicare, Medicaid, the ACA and more is a given. People will die as a result. It is not if they will die, it is how many will die.
I will shed no tears when the perpetrators end up living and dying by the results of their vote. They are so far displaced from reality they actually believe they will be somehow exempt from the trump's policies. Sure trump can be impeached. But let me tell you a little secret, pence holds the same views and is also willing to lie, cheat and steal to make the same things happen as will all republicans in DC. They control all 3 houses of government and will change the make up of the Supreme court for decades. Imagine a SC with 4 Scalias. Imagine our public school system being forced to teach evolution is a myth, God created everything, 6,000 years ago. Then imagine that the case goes to the SC. Who agrees that teaching God created everything is another version of science. DeVos outed her gay brother practically on his death bed. How well do you think gay students will fare with her at the helm of education?
Imagine a gay Muslim wanting to come to the USA to avoid execution for being gay. Imagine him being denied entry to the US because he is Muslim and gay.
