Well except we'll probably have voter ID after the rampant voter fraud that will assuredly happen in this election, but there's nothing wrong with voter ID unless you are dependent on getting as many low-interest and fraudulet voters as you can in order to win.

Also SS will probably get addressed since it's a timebomb

But Trump isn't even remotely anti-gay. Trump is bringing the Republicans out of the dark ages on gay stuff which is the biggest blessing out of his inevitable win.

Also nobody is going to make abortion totally illegal and only fools pandering to a very specific vote even claim they will do that. If nothing else abortion is responsible for the drop in crime and helps keep less mouths dependent on welfare

Trump may not be anti-gay (I don't believe this, but it doesn't matter) but his party undeniably is, and you have your head in the sand if you think Trump wouldn't go along with any anti-LGBT bills that pass across his desk with a smile on his face.

Are you not aware of the efforts in many states to abolish abortion by making regulations so restrictive it's all but impossible to get one? In some states the number of abortion clinics in the entire state is in the single to low double digits. And this will continue under a Trump presidency and will happen at the federal level as well, especially if he gets to fill the bench of the Supreme Courts.

Trump cares about Trump, and he'll gladly throw LGBT and women's rights under the bus in a heartbeat.

The only upside as a Canadian is you might be able to buy a bunch of US dollars on the cheap after it crashes post-election. Then you pray the US survives long enough for it to get back to normal and doesn't implode, taking Canada's economy with it. Not much of an upside.

Edit: One of the things I'm wondering about Trump if he's going to pull the stunt of making a few hundred executive orders and then stepping down, saying his work is complete. Might explain the offer of letting his VP essentially run the country.

Ron Paul has an R next to his name as well

You're an idiot. Ron Paul is not pro-gay rights:

quote:

It's whispered that Paul is in league with the Dominionist and Christian Reconstructionist movements.[16] Paul introduced the We the People Act into the House of Representatives twice. This bill would strip federal courts of jurisdiction in cases involving abortion, same-sex marriage, privacy related to sexual behavior, and Establishment Clause issues, leaving them to the states... which is exactly what the Religious Right wants to do. He has engaged in outright dishonesty in support of this agenda, for instance claiming that prayer has been prohibited in schools.
How does Ron Paul reconcile dominionism with libertarianism?[17] It seems he wants the church to be strong and the state to be weak:
The Founding Fathers envisioned a robustly Christian... America, with churches serving as vital institutions that would eclipse the state in importance.[18]
Ron Paul's radical views on "states' rights" also extends into homosexuality. Ron Paul believes that these rights include the ability to regulate sex, specifically arresting homosexual individuals for having sex. This is another case where he abandons the right to privacy for a group he doesn't like:
Ridiculous as sodomy laws may be, there clearly is no right to privacy nor sodomy found anywhere in the Constitution. There are, however, states' rights — rights plainly affirmed in the Ninth and Tenth amendments. Under those amendments, the State of Texas has the right to decide for itself how to regulate social matters like sex, using its own local standards.[19]
While he wants to abolish the death penalty at the federal level, apparently it doesn't matter when supporting pastor Phillip Kayser advocates the death penalty for gays.[20][21]
In short, cross-examining both Paul's explicit positions and proposed legislations, his program would result in the strengthening of a theocratic agenda, not by passing laws in Congress (downright impossible due to secular opposition), but by preventing the federal government from stopping establishment of religion or anti-gay legislation at the local level. Not in all of the country, but in Jesusland at least.

But:

Being the anti-Obama on a foreign policy level will help on its own - no more of this apologizing to countries nonsense.
