Because they are a lot closer than you think to completely changing the Constitution. While it's a somewhat flawed document, I prefer it the way it is - you know with civil rights and term limits and every adult over 18 getting a vote and no poll tax. Do you know how close the Republicans are to flipping just a few states to a degree where that can happen?
They do that and get that chance, no more marriage equality, homosexuality will likely be deemed illegal, I don't think stopping 18-21 year olds from voting is enough, I think they'll try to raise it 25 or even 30. And it wouldn't shock me if they instituted a type of poll tax to keep the poor from voting.
Plus - lets not forget the Supreme Court and how it could be worse. Clarence isn't gonna make it 4 more years. You have no idea the damage Trump & Co can do in four years, four long years.
I am a middle-aged, working class white male, nothing would happen to me under Trump, but I do care about my neighbors who may be Black, Asian, Middle Eastern, Mexican and gays and trans people. They need us, they really ****ing need us right now. They're lives are going to be destroyed if Trump & that party get in power again.
We absolutely can't risk that just to prove a point. The Republicans will take total control of everything and they will never let it go without a Civil War. These people are ****ing sick and dangerous...... Plus giving them four more years will more than undo recent economic progress.
Republicans **** up the economy and when the Democrats can't fix it all instantly they get blamed and "Professional Democrats" are so horribly bad at campaigning. They're still quaking in their boots from Reagan in 1984 - afraid to embrace their own policies that the majority of this country supports like gun restrictions - even gun owners want reasonable change. They are afraid to be called Liberal and that's stupid, it should be a badge of honor, bur Reagan turned it into a dirty word. News Flash - He's dead and buried.
