re: #176 Lidane

I am being much more open about my displeasure at this election.

My FB friend who voted Trump still operates under the delusions that he is not a bigot and that he wants to unite the country. She posted about him calling gay marriage settled law and said she hoped it was enough to ease LGBT minds. I shot back that it was meaningless drivel, since what he says doesn’t matter. It’s the judges he appoints who will make that case, because if he appoints some batshit lunatics who fall for a particular argument in Court, then it will be over.

She also bleated about the “death tax” ending and I pointed out that most Americans will never pay it anyway or be affected by it because these days, you need a minimum of $5.5 million in total assets before it kicks in.

I’m done catering to the Trump voters in my life. I’ll be polite, but firm and push back against their stupidity.

The idea that Trump would find justices that would be willing to reverse Roe v. Wade, but somehow Griswold or Obergfell is a bridge too far is insane.
