If Trump loses in 2016, today we have:
1) 5 hard Left Supreme Court Justices and the court turns Stalinist for a generation...perhaps permanently.
2) The rapid erosion of 1st and 2nd amendment rights...and yes, gun confiscation would either be under way, or working its way through the congresscourts as we speak.
3) The addition of 2 SCJ's, 73 Appeals court judges, 99 District court judges...all of them wildly left wing. The courts would be deeply progressive...RADICALLY leftist...for a generation at least.
4) NATO would still be contributing around 1% of GDP per member rather than the increases under way.
5) The Deep State would be growing deeper and more permanent...and yes, it CAN and WILL grow and expand its reach under a Leftist president. Trump has not stopped this, but he has exposed and impeded it...moreso than any other Republican in government.
6) The Border would be wide open...triple the current illegal inflow, millions of Illegals would be new citizens/voters...perhaps 10's of millions, ICE would be abolished or knee-capped into impotency, our police far more deeply under siege for simply enforcing the law, and conservative voices silenced on campuses and the internet...far moreso than is already the case.
7) We'd be leading the Paris accords, not dropping from them...trapped in NAFTA not renegotiating it.
8) The Obama economy would still be slothing along at 1.5-2% at best...jobs and industry fleeing overseas at ever increasing rates. No rebirth of manufacturing and oil/coal production.
9) The Obamacare mandate would still be in place and we would be moving at light speed towards full Socialized medicine in a Bernie style format.
10) The continued ostracization, criminalization and general assault on conservative thought would be virtually unimpeded...the government, the media, and social media constructs all advancing the means of silencing and marginalizing our voices. There are no other Republican/Conservative voices strong enough to impede this...I wish it were otherwise...but that is the reality.
And lets be clear, no other GOP candidate stood even a remote chance of beating Hillary...so Hillary is what we would have without Donald Trump. Contrary to the idiotic proclamations from those who want to proclaim the President's supporters see him as a "demigod"...a childish and intellectually vacuous assertion...we see him as the boy who's holding his finger in the dyke. A task nobody else was capable...and willing...to undertake. Those who undermine the President from the right, are the metaphorical equivalent of the utter fool who would punch the dyke holding boy in the stomach as he strives to hold back the tide of Socialist oppression ready to burst from the dam.
And don't be fooled, we have idiots here who WANT that dam to break...not many, to be fair, but a few...who are delusional enough to think they can lead some sort of dimwitted insurrection to bring what they perceive as traditional conservatism back to DC at the tip of their muskets. Guess what, they...with the rest of us...will be washed away by the rush of Socialist hysteria that will flow from the broken dam of our constitution.
In 2016 we faced a dichotomy...wishful thinking cannot make it otherwise. Today, we face it still. So you can pick a side...or simply sit on the sidelines and watch as some have so clearly chosen to do. The "sidelines" are full of 3rd party advocates, purists, perfectionists and just plain old political narcissists...all of whom achieve nothing behind failing to fight the tide of Leftism flowing from the Dem party and the media. Its a choice, but its the choice of a citizen who watches his fellows dragged away to a re-education camp...the kind of inaction that dooms us all.
And here's the most important point in this diatribe. None of what I've written here means criticism of the president is off limits...on the contrary, we must all perpetually offer critique and even rebuke to the President when warranted...but if you forget who the true enemy is, the genuine source of the assault on our freedoms and against the very nature of our American Republic...than you have lost your way.
