My point then and today is we have to believe that we will prevail over Trump. Otherwise, we may as well start eating borscht and chanting “MAGA”.
All of this, I mean all of it, is about defeating our minds and our spirits. The moment we give up on America, we give in to Donald Trump.
When a conspiracy theorist is elected President of the United States, these are the things you can expect to happen.
It is particularly noteworthy to mention that while then-Senator Jeff Sessions blatantly committed perjury under oath before the Senate, he did so with impunity and protection of his Republican cohorts. A woman who dared laugh faces prison time.
Trumpcare takes us back to the days before Obamacare, when rape and abuse victims were afraid to report the crime because they didn't want to lose their health insurance.

This bill wasn’t written with the intent to protect or govern on the side of the woman. It was written to save fetuses.

However, they revealed the legislation is about using religious tyranny to control women.
This week a story in Georgia illustrates just how dangerous religious tyranny posing as religious freedom can be to the health of women.
The crux of South Carolina's argument in support of discriminating against gays is that if it constitutionally permissible to discriminate against women, then it is perfectly legal to discriminate against gays.
One day people will wake up and wonder why they can no longer get the pill in their state, let alone an abortion. They can thank a Republican for the RFRA.
It is why although the law appears only to target the LGBT community and allow the 'faithful' to legally punish same-sex marriage partners by refusing to hire, serve, or provide them with medical care, it is important to remember there is no mention of gays in the law.
