Both Carla and myself were "unfriended" by her uncle and aunt for our "liberal" leanings. But, they are wealthy and privileged and likely to be further enriched by trumpty numpty and his cadre of oligarch's.
Hate crimes are up against gays, transgenders, Women who speak their minds and fight for their right's, minorities. Creationism now has major support in Washington to be the "new" science taught country wide. Corporations are employing strong arm tactics against native people's who are blocking their ruthless path to mine and exploit resources without regard to property rights or environmental protections. Plus, we have a president who is so thin skinned that he can't take even a smidgen of the abuse and criticism that has been heaped on past presidents, especially Obama. He wants to employ strong arm tactics against the media and anybody who dares to use the 1st amendment right of free speech against him and his fellow oligarch's. Plus, he wants to put his family members into high government positions. Almost like a 3rd world dictatorship. It's going to be interesting for the next few years.
I know, I know, that statistics can be found here and there to buttress anybodies differing opinion. So all some of us can do is watch, speak out and hope for the best...or prepare for the worst.......
