there's nothing positive about the result of this election. nothing that can make me view this in a positive light. the fact that republicans are in control of every branch of government makes it far worse. it would have just been "eh" before. now it's terrifying. people are scared of what the trump presidency might bring. scared for their safety. that should never happen. ever.
I'm pretty sure they're not going to touch it, at least not until well into their term. People are upset enough about all this, something like that would put them over the edge on it.
My impression of Trump's platform has been that he's building towards economic resurgence and political reform. Trump is a businessman, he knows better than to mess with social stuff like LGBT interests. Business doesn't actually care who you are or what you want to sleep with as long as you follow policies and meet expectations.
Unfortunately, the media has presented Trump and Pence to look like some kind of horrible Nazi out to undo the past 50 years of social progress and cultural acceptance when none of it is true. He's a businessman looking to make the country more conductive to the success of his interests, while Pence is a veteran politician who is there to guide the politically inexperienced Trump through the formalities and help him meet expectations.
I think they'll be a powerful combo if people are willing to give them a chance. We might actually see a future where America is prosperous enough to put some serious funding into acceptance of more than just race and gender. Probably after Trump makes America great again and someone who has a better grasp on such things gets in there to balance it out again.
I remember there's a video of trumps running the court and none of himself can agree on himself, cant find the video tho
