He
is now our President-Elect so those fears are no longer relevant. He has the
job "so now it's time to work towards unifying our Nation" Wait who
said that? It wasn’t Hillary this time. He did in his speech after Hillary
Clinton's concession call to him. He was gracious and generous in his praise of
her long history of service to our country. Hilary Clinton was gracious
providing the call because she knows this is not the first time a woman was
passed over for a job by a man with less experience. So now the fear is in the
hearts of those who hoped for better things.
So what do we have to be afraid of during a Trump regime, sorry I mean
presidency? The dust is settling and what we have is a republican majority in
the Senate and a republican majority in the House of Representatives, So the
legislative and executive branches of our government possess the roughly the
same ideology and goals give or take. Our Judicial branch is awaiting a nominee
to be selected by the Executive and approved by the Legislative. I am sure that
there will be at least one more vacant seat to fill on the bench over the next
four years. What does all this mean? Let's throw some campaign promises and
issues out on the table and speculate.
Health care. the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare will most likely be
folded, spindled and mutilated the burned in effigy as an example of the
previous administration. Abortion. Roe v. Wade will have executive and
legislative pressure put on it to be overturned. LBGTQ. All advances in
gaining rights will be put on hiatus for the next four years as momentum moving
forward will be balanced by executive and legislative pressure pushing back.
Second Amendment. I don't think there will be a lot of change in gun
reform. as long as the NRA is happy. The Fourth Estate He is going to push for
stricter definitions for slander and libel. Prelude to censorship anyone,
anyone?... Here is some good news his immigration policies will cover his
promises of more jobs. First the Brute squad that will be going from door to
door to remove the undocumented and Muslim population wit be need motivated
hard working individuals. Then once they have been kicked out of the country,
people need to build that wall to keep them out and fill the jobs that were
involuntarily vacated by the rapists and terrorists. So jobs, all taken care
of. Foreign policy, I see this boiling down to a handful of responses. if they
are from a "terrorist nation" bomb them and their families and turn
the country to glass. Pay for our support and friendship. If there is even a hint
of disrespect, ignore them, or if he is feeling himself that day sanction them.
Net Neutrality, when the appeal comes before the Supreme Court, don't hold
your breath.
If you are not still at least nervous, lets remove all the politics. My
biggest fear lies in the man/boy himself. Donald Trump has proven
himself to be a misogynist. despite what he says his respect for women is
negligible. He jokes about sexual assault, His defense for not sexually
assaulting a woman is that she was too unattractive. his body language during
the debates indicates his need to dominate or distract attention away from a
woman with an opinion. look at our new first lady, this the first time in my
life that I have seen a president that did not show some level of respect to
his wife, he treats her as an accessory. He married her because she was a vapid
supermodel. All of his ex-wives started out as trophy wives until they asserted
themselves and were summarily divorced. He is also a narcissist with the
reactionary temperament of a spoiled five-year-old. the mildest insult would
distract him from the business of campaigning for president. This is who will
be Commander-in-Chief of the most powerful military force on the planet. He is
a master of the blame game. Why take any amount of personal responsibility or
have any empathy if you don't have to? He has no idea about how much power the
office of POTUS actually has. or how to use it. If he plans on running it
like his business empire.... Fear.
Trump campaigned on the platform of change. The pundits and analysts had long
made know that the country as a whole was dissatisfied with the way things are.
After all this the biggest fear may have been what would it mean for the
supposedly most progressive country in the world to have a woman for president.
I think it would mean that you could never look a little girl in the eyes and
say that you can’t' be what you want, and that would give the Old White Men
sphincter lock.
The
Teflon Don is President. He is going to try to make America great again. No
matter how you look at it, it means moving backwards. Fear. When in the past
was America great for everyone? The United States of America was only
great when there was the hope of moving forward to make it better.
Do not let your fear of the future hamper you. Fear is the warning you
get when you need to do something to survive. Unfortunately, our fear of clowns
was not strong enough. But then we were not caving into fear, we were striving
for hope.
Let's keep doing
that.
Thank you for your
Support
