6. It will be GLBT rights that will most likely suffer.

While attacks on women will undoubtedly happen, and restrictions to Roe V. Wade would occur, it will be the GLBT community which will suffer. First, they will likely push to overturn marriage equality, after all it was passed under Obama. Then, will come the "religious freedom" bullshit. In actuality, I would not be surprised if anti-gay sodomy laws, (Lawrence V. Texas), got nixed. The real problem is most people won't give a shit. Our rights will be obliterated and people will sit by and say NOTHING! There won't be throngs of people out protesting, there won't be marches of outrage, there will a deafening silence from the majority. We will be the first group to fall.
