The GOP wasnt embraced because people like them. It was they (swing voters) found the left's crazies and idiots behavior disturbing and becoming an issue within their lives.
The same happened to the GOP. Once the GOP and allies mistook their dominance as license to let their worst amongst them run amok, is when their reign ended and their narrative seen erosion.
I'll never understand conservative views towards birth control tbh.
Like... you don't want abortion but you don't want birth control or, in Pence's case, condoms.
Even married couples use birth control but I guess Jesus wants us all to be baby machines, regardless.

[QUOTE=Sableye;51347508]i wouldn't call conservative judges balanced. the judges that the left nominates have all been moderately left, meanwhile the judges that the right nominates have been far right of center[/QUOTE]
Balance refers to the court as a whole. If we currently have 3 left leaning judges, one moderate judge, and two conservative judges, what do we have to add to have a balanced court?
Or, we can do some simple math:
3L + 1M + 2C + 1x = 3L + 1M +3C <- Find x.

I don't get why he wants to strengthen the US military? There is no one on this planet that can compare it's budget already. I'm all for helping vets and stuff but god damn.
Trump don't seem to even care what happens to the economy because the guy is already a multi billionaire who can end world starvation from his own pocket and it's pretty clear the guy wants power over the military.
I heard his victory speak and he said " We will get along with anyone who gets along with us" for me that means "if you criticize America or don't agree with us you will be branded as an enemy of the US therefor you should be destroyed"
It feels like it's going to be US Citizen Master Race

Yes, exactly. Well, not exactly. Clinton wouldn't have had the opportunity to stack the court, because the two most vulnerable seats are both left-leaning meaning no net change in power. Either way, however, it doesn't change my answer. Clearly, I personally believe that more liberal judges better reflect the spirit of the Constitution, but regardless of which team the president plays for at the time a seat opens, I think lifelong judge appointments are inherently a flawed ideal that places entirely too much power in their seat, the president, and simple chance-- especially in a highly politicized environment. Donald Trump, merely by being elected in the right window of time, has the power to stack the deck for 15+ years, even if he doesn't get a second term. The next president may not even get a chance.
Should judges be truly politically impartial, it would be another story, but that's not the case.

Stacking the SC has been an issue for decades. Maybe leftists were fine with it, but those on the right were terrified that a liberal supreme court would, I dunno, make healthcare more accessible or let gays get married or some other doomsday liberal decision.

As a religious conservative, I honestly don't know a single person against birth control.
As far as I can tell, the anti-birth control crowd is only made of older Catholics.
I see not an inch of silver lining to any of this.
My family is going to suffer because of Trump's "plan". We may very well lose our health insurance, and we're not exactly in perfect health as is.
It's all about undoing every step forward we took in the past 8 years and then pretending like you have a solution in mind when you clearly don't.

To be fair, Trump has already indicated that he will be giving his VP powers well beyond his specific role. Hell, he promised his first choice that he would be in charge of all foreign and domestic policy. That is, of course, literally everything.
While Pence probably isn't in charge of all foreign and domestic policy, To does seem intent on making him the most powerful vice president in history.
Well, I can see why people draw parallels between Trump and Hitler. He focuses on a group of minorities, isolates them, while promoting select "Americans". He's even proposing a wall, much like the Berlin wall... Fuck, at least it'll be a perfect time to invest in commodities... since I think the dollar is going to weaken a bit.
