(8,000 posts)but you have no idea at all about how worried I am about fascism or what I think about the next election. The OP was about giving up basic civil rights and you are making things worse, not better.
I don't really need you to preach to me about trump. I was well aware before the election what he would be capable of, and I've certainly not found an iota of reason to believe he will be anything but our worst nightmare and he will become worse as time goes on. Pence would be just as bad.
I have no idea why you're so down on those of us who desperately tried to beat trump last fall, but I think you're preaching to the choir. Given the choice between a Democrat who is anti-choice and a Republican who is anti-choice, I will always pick the Democrat. That doesn't mean I think we should go around saying that civil rights are not important compared to the problems of trump voters. Try lecturing the purists who won't sully their hands by voting for anyone that deviates a millimeter from everything they want.
