I can't even say his fucking name. Abortion will become illegal at some point, or at least very difficult, right? Gay marriage repealed? Mexico is not going to pay for a wall. Will we? Will that actually happen?
Defunding planned parenthood, repealing ACA, cuts to public benefits, less bank and environmental regulations, destruction of the Department of Education, increased racial tensions, attempts to reverse same sex marriage, and nuclear war.
Yay America!
Edit to add: Forgot his plan to suppress the media and destroy the first amendment.
I don't think anyone really knows. He is so unstable and unpredictable and lies incessantly.
At the very least I expect he will get in regular Twitter wars with random citizens who dare criticize him and our international relations are going to be destroyed.
I'm holding out hope that Dems avoid a SCOTUS appointment by using the Republicans tactics against them. Better down a justice than anyone they would appoint.
I'm hoping someone will come in and explain why it would be basically impossible to overturn gay marriage. I'm terrified for women's rights.
The thing about SCOTUS is it is Scalia's seat. Would it have been better to have an obama or Clinton appointee? Fuck yes. And there are many things I am worried about with this but what really needs to happen is all the liberal judges stay even if we have to weekend at bernie's them.
Deferred Deportation for Childhood Arrivals will be stopped and undocumented immigrants may even be required to register with the federal government. There's no way he won't target us to score points with his base.

Rbg fucked up but she better be eating her Wheaties.

honestly, I think he'll let this and benghazi go. But I'm an optimist. other things I expect to happen:
Corporate tax reform and maybe individual tax reform (doubtful). Increased privatization of the VA.
Increased military spending.
Decreased foreign aid, including NATO.
I think the Wall and the email investigation are key to his base. He will at least keep that up for the first few months in office even if it doesn't go anywhere.
Also no one really knows - not even Rs - what he will do. It's entirely possible he picks some judge that is not terrible. Whether that person is confirmed who knows. But it's not like he takes advice. He may or may not care about the 2nd amendment when appointing a judge. It might be someone more pro business. But who really knows? It's not like he has actual principles and positions.

Get her some kale, blueberries, whatever other superfoods there are...
I'm not the one to explain how he can't overturn gay marriage, but I don't understand how he would. The decision has already been made, even if he gets a conservative judge on the Supreme Court who would have decided against it, they'd have to hear another case about it, right? Are there other cases? I suppose he could try for a constitutional amendment, but that would take a lot of time. And who even knows if it would be a priority for him.
More immediately, I'm concerned about: -him emboldening racists, in the general populace but more importantly in law enforcement. He will appoint judges who will side with police, and he will continue to militarize the police (in the interest of "public safety") -him bombing anyone Russia tells him to. Syria comes to mind first, but I'll admit to not knowing the extent of our involvement currently
I was going to write more but I just can't. Sorry if this is repetitive of anyone else, it took a while to type on my phone.
Who knows what he actually believes or will actually do.
