Just for a second, push aside the fact that Donald Trump is a compulsive liar, whose policies mostly benefit the rich…
Probably the biggest issue at stake in the election is the Supreme Court.
A Trump presidency will cement a conservative majority for at least the next thirty years. This is the court that brought such great democracy busting policies as:
- Trump Absolute Immunity – Now we have a King who cannot be prosecuted for his actions.
- Citizen United – This allows wealthy businesses to dump tons of cash into elections.
- Shelby County v. Holder – Which gutted the Voter’s Rights Act
Those are just policies that affect democracy. We have not even mentioned issues like abortion, the environment, gun safety, etc.
If Trump gets elected, his rise to power will affect our country for at least a full generation. And not in a good way.
