re: #12 Charles Johnson

Not gonna lie - I’m seriously depressed about the future of the US today. If Trump gets to appoint another right wing justice, and he probably will, we are simply fucked. For a long, long time. There’s not going to be any quick fix for this.

Sure, stay strong. Keep fighting. Et cetera. I’m not giving up. But the tiny flame of hope is in danger of flickering out.

The new SCOTUS appointment has the potential to have a far greater impact on people’s day to day lives than nearly anything that Trump has done to date or is contemplating doing—the attempt to re-instate the ability for insurance carriers to discriminate based on pre-existing conditions being the only one with possible greater significance.
