But I wonder if this is the right strategy. People mostly fear he will curtail abortion and gay rights. Remember gay marriage was first legalized Hawaii under Bush's administration. And as for abortion, the man doesn't know whether he's coming or going. He went from being pro-choice to being pro-ofe in a matter of day because he believed that's where the votes would come from. Instead of fighting the man, I think we'd do well to establish ourselves as a blocking block that he can ignore only at his peril.Trump is not going after gay rights or abortion.
Things Trump can do to those who resist him.
1. Use eminent domain to take all their property and give it to the big industries that support him.
2. Dry up their money in court fighting bogus criminal charges just like they did the Black Panther Party
3. Use the press to discredit them in the eyes of their supporters
4. Eliminate funding of scientific projects
Think strategically. Resistance is a defensive strategy and no war is ever won defensively. They can hold to what they stand for and keep their missions in mind, yet set themselves up as a formidable voting block and see how fast he'll climb Mount Improbable.
He is simply not going to appoint justices that will repeal the bann on partial birth abortions. The worst thing that could happen is that the abortion subject get De-federalize meaning it will be up to the individual states what they do with abortion which it should be that way and not a mandate one way or the other.
He is also not going after gay marriage. He is simply going to appoint justices that up hold the constitution as the founders indented it. Rather than hillary's ;living document' meaning repeal the bill of rights.
RESEARCH Trump Yourself. He has his intended goals for America on His website. Don't let the crazies do your thinking for you.
