Whatever you really care about, it is ALL in grave danger. If it's healthcare, those who've taken over on the right don't intend to repeal the ACA because they're going to enact something else. They will not. They intend people to pay for themselves and then better society by dying off when they cannot.
They've tried for over 70 years to repeal Social Security, and all the rest of our safety net programs, and now that is within reach. No replacement ever. They will reinterpret the constitution to make sure of that.
Free/affordable college? Most won't be allowed college. Minimum wage? Stupid question.
If what you care about includes freedom and social justice issues, you need to realize that authoritarian government will stomp the Bill of Rights into the ground. These people using extreme cruelty against children as an instrument of government will of course use extreme cruelty against citizens. They just need the power to begin.
Eyes open. Look RIGHT. We must win.
