I'm only going to comment on this because I agree with the rest of your post...


I've heard many of the same fears in my circles. I'm typically the mediator in my peer group so I've spent an inordinate amount of time trying to allay fears from people who are for whatever reason legitimately afraid of losing rights they currently have. I'm generally good at finding a silver lining when I look, but in this particular case I can't in good conscience offer any.


If (and this is a big, unknown if) Trump got a wire hair up his backside and decided to come for a women (reproductive rights/issues) and the LGBT community only the Supreme Court as it stands right now would be any sort of roadblock whatsoever as long as it happens before he starts appointing Justices. Having said that, I don't think either are even on his radar right now as he has much bigger fish to fry. But you know how people are...they are primarily focused on what affects them directly.


You come across as someone who's either fairy convinced these folks are overreacting and/or who has a better sense of what Trump wants to do than I do...so I'm sincerely asking what would you say to these people/groups to allay their fears?

 

 

"Snap out of it, drama queen" isn't working?  Maybe you should shake them.

Burning the American flag. What a damn disgrace. On veterans day as well.

LOL Donald Trump made it about race when he said crap about a judge who ruled against him and did not stop there.

 

Of course when discussing different beliefs and opinions, it is about politics and religion.

 

He called the judge a "Mexican." What race is "Mexican"?


 

And this was no different than the implication that an all-white jury would not give a fair ruling to an African American, something you Dems seem to subscribe to.

"Why should I give information to you when all you want to do is find something wrong with it?"

Karma is a [BLEEP]. May they reap what they sow.

Physical assault really isn't my way but thanks for the laugh. I truly think I'm becoming a terrible, terrible person in my old age. Entirely too much is funny to me that probably shouldn't be.

Because democracy in this situation would suck!

They're just extremely butthurt right now. They went months listening to their brainwashing media (CNN & family of networks) and believing that their girl had this election in the basket. They were lickin their chops. They were ready to see fireworks over the Hudson.. Then came election night and they got kicked in the baby makers.. Hey, oh well.. It happens. Life goes on.. Once they realize that President Trump isn't going to jump out from under their beds in the middle of the night or kick their dogs, they'll go back to their mom & dad's basement (Hillary's words). The sky is not going to fall and you will be fine. You can whine and cry all you like, but the Electoral College we have in place is what keeps us from being an Aristocratic Nation. Gore should finally agree as well..


President Trump.. It's gonna be a great thing. This country is in dire need of a law and order President and it's time we had one that also supports our police departments.

Still don't get that campaign slogan at all. What is a President going to do about law enforcement? Are we getting a federal police force?

Donald Trump rallied the republican national convention to stand up and protect the lgbtq community from violence and extremism. He said several times that gay marriage isn't something he supports but its already past the point of trying to overturn. A trump scotus appointee would focus on making sure the old lady doesn't have to bake the wedding cake.


As far as reproductive rights the guy said in his world u wouldn't need a prescription for bc. That made a lot of liberal women do a double take. He's not and the gop doesn't care about bc restrictions, they're just not going to force the nuns to include it in their health plan.


As far as him being pro life


A.) jane roe from roe v. Wade is pro life.

B.) as he explained in the third debate he supports a 10th amendment solution. Eliminate the holding requirement that all states allow it and let the states decide.

Wow indeed.  Such hatred in her heart and directing it at her 7 year old son.  She has no business raising a child when she, maturity wise, still is one.
