They don't care about LGBTQ+ rights?

That's why it was hope....not disillusionment.

"OMG, guise, i'm just running interference fot literal fascist policies. Why are you so mean to me!?"
Guess what? Get used to eating these shit sammiches, and coming here to tell us what hyperbolic babies we are for not wanting to join in.
Oh jeez, that sure makes things better doesn't it?
Oh wait. Nope. It doesn't.
I have friends in the US that might die in the next 4 years because of this election. Everyone trying to tell me the fears are hyperbolic can fuck right off as far as i'm concerned.

Because they'd be dogpiled instantly. They see that even others who aren't republican are attacked and vilified. There is nothing to be gained by it beyond a ban.

They don't care about anyone's rights expect their own.
Because threads like these fly directly against their economic anxiety bullshit.
Providing it as an option is a problem. Do you know who doesn't have a choice if they want to go to it or not? Gay teens with homophobic parents. I don't believe he's going to force me to not be gay, some kid's parents will try and force them.
Have you read the 2016 Republican Party platform yet?

There's an open space that was held by a Republican and will be replaced with one.
Three of the justices are very old. Ruth Ginsberg is the one liberals worry about because she is the oldest one(83) and asking her to hold out for another 4 years might be a bit much, then Kennedy who leans Conservative at 80 and then Breyer who is liberal at 78.
So it is possible Trump could appoint 2 justices and if he does we are fucked for another generation at least.
Certainly doesn't help that they are responsible for this shit and blood is on their hands.

You think they can't even hold a conversation without saying something banworthy? Wow, that's a pretty low opinion to have.

No, you're right. That's not hyperbolic at all.

People should do some goddamn self-reflection for once. Instead of plugging their ears they need to listen to the anger and criticism and go from there.
It's not. A government legitimized atmosphere of bigotry is guaranteed to cost lives and you're cheering for it.
If you think it is hyperbolic, you have no fucking idea how mindnumbingly ignorant of the issues you are. Educate yourself.

You're absolutely right.
...you're talking about Clinton, the democrats, and the American left, correct? Because failing to heed that is what cost them this election.
It isn't. At all.
he's not the GRAND wizard of the KKK, just like a lower level wizard!

If you're not a part of the LBGT community you don't know a fucking thing about what they're going through.
Stop that shit. Their fears are warranted and your desire to feel superior and right that everything will be fine helps no one.

Yeah, but SJ can't be kicked out. They either have to leave on their own, or die. These are the same justices that deemed it unconstitutional to deny gay marriage and deny gay people service. They are pretty much our last defense, even being republican themselves.

Ok, I understand now. You have no earthly idea the difference between laws and rule-making power.
They will send the trial balloon cases through the courts, but revoking Federal protections in housing and employment can be done on Executive whims.
Enjoy your naivete
This thread isn't about the fucking election. It's about what the current people in power want to do.
Also you've conveniently ignored my point earlier.
No, you have to include the word "Unity" somewhere.

I agree and I have. Others are and others bury their heads.
You realize there are already parents who force it on their children, right?
Clinton intended to make that illegal, and yet here we are instead.

Pence took away funding for treatments for people with HIV and put it towards conversion therapy, so you're right, it really isn't hyperbolic.
I laid-out the very real roadmap to how this shit will go down. Watch folks continue to gloss-over it.

not really? Hillary was a bad candidate who failed to mobilize her base. the people who voted trump were never going to vote for anyone but the republican nominee.

Thank you. Now tell this to Trump. When I saw him holding our flag, I wanted to vomit.

Has Trump said anything about appointing this group?
That's as close to consolation as we'll fucking see, isn't it? It's not TRUMP that's being so wretched, just the man who he's letting decide fucking everything!
Better not fuck over the blue states with this shit.

Just let the troll spit bite to himself for a while
We'll fight tooth and nail to keep our states free of this crap.

I'm not cheering for shit. I didn't vote for Trump, and I don't like the man and I don't think he's a good choice for president.
What "issues". I take it you're going to say something along the lines of racists being emboldened, and starting to just randomly kill members of minority groups?
The blood is on Trump's and the GOP's hands.

Get the fuck out of here with this, Trump. Jesus Christ I am worried for my gay friends, now.

This is shit and it will empower shitty people to be more visibly shitty and terrible things will happen to good people that don't deserve it and it sucks but I don't understand the absolute defeatist attitude. You can't regress progressive attitudes and the US can't lawfully force it without ending up with some kind of revolution on their hands. The cat is already out of the bag, guys. Keep the faith.

I know, but the attitude of "this will be 4 and done" will do nothing but ensure it happens again. Hopefully everyone realizes they have to do more than just talk next time, as trusting others to vote him out in 4 is about as sure a thing as Hillary winning this election ended up being...
