They say our Constitution created a form of government that protects the citizens from extremism and abuse of power. With Donald Trump in the White House and a republican congress and senate, combined with what will soon be a conservative Supreme Court, there probably isn’t too much to worry about.

Unless you are gay,

or Hispanic,

or black,

or Muslim,

or female,

or need health insurance outside of a job,

or are in an unskilled job and want to make a living wage,

or have money in the stock market,

or like wildlife,

or need clean air,

or need clean water,

or have children that want to live on this planet,

But you can have your assault rifle.

And you can burn fossil fuels like there is no tomorrow.

And we can all be good Christians with special dispensation for locker room talk and sexual assault and insist that everyone live by the Bible.

I find little to be hopeful about.
