obligatory political journal

i'm not upset that trump won. i think he can do good things for our country. i'm far more upset that congress now has a republican majority in both the house and the senate, as that means-- combined with a republican president and VP-- it will be a lot easier to push legislation that will totally ruin all the social progress we've made through obama's terms. personally, i couldn't give less of a shit about obamacare or minimum wage or welfare, economic shit like that-- my main concern is LGBT+ rights and the enabling of racism in the US.
the worst case scenario is that by electing republican supreme court justices and fucking with other stuff, these republican majorities are going to reverse the gay marriage decision and potentially even roe v wade, which is just beyond fucked. and though i doubt that the muslim screenings are going to happen, and i also doubt that all this illegal deportation business is going to end up being as hard-hitting as trump's made it out to be, it still could very likely set precedents which enable horrifying degrees of racism, even if that's not necessarily the intention of the lawmakers or trump. so democrats are really going to need to kick it into high gear in that area and crack down HARD on any attempts made by republicans to reverse the social progress that's been made here. please. people's lives are depending on this.
also, to trump supporters: please stop with the obnoxious jokes about weeeh liberal tears XD S A L T and all that shit. ok. nobody's crying because our new president isn't politically correct or a minority or safe spaces whatever other ridiculous radical-sjw shit you wanna stereotype them as. there are people (i.e. LGBT+ and [portions of] other minority groups) who are legitimately fearing for their life and well-being right now because of these results. just. have some fucking empathy. jesus.
