Trump Poisons the Well-We Humans can do better

Even before today's Roe v. Wade march some pro-lifers were upset with Trump calling for jailing women for having abortion something every major Western anti-abortion group disagrees with. Trump is also not good for the image of the NRA, and actually drums down real concerns concerning immigration. People want to fight with Trump and end up distracted fighting each other.

I came across an amazing article I had missed, I hope the author updates it
Donald Trump Would Set Back The Pro-Life Cause More Than Hillary Would

Besides Trump hurting the soul of the pro-life movement. The NRA wants guns for quiet protection or insurance, whether the safety guns provide is real or not, not to brandish around to gain influence with. (Such as Trump saying “Hillary Better Watch Out”) Trump makes people think the NRA are goons.

There must be similar article somewhere on Trump discrediting the 2nd Amendment cause. I haven't yet found.

When it comes to immigration. if travel between nations to get work was as easy as between cities Americans would earn less than a dollar an hour and be hungry some of the time. However there is no real "Save our nest egg" movement to punish employers or give hospitals the payments they would get had the undocumented workers who now need hospital care had employer paid health insurance etc.  

Perhaps the Sanctuary Movement should give up something urging that employers pay lost city and state taxes by not collected by not paying immigrants prevailing wages etc. Someone may want bilingual babysitters and childcare, helping the child in many ways including some protection from Alzheimers, but the urge to replace US workers to save money would be missing.

If Sanctuary groups and cities like Philly would start to make sure employers pay prevailing wage for under-the-table workers, Trump would lose his ability to scapegoat Mexico.  


It's probably too early for immigrant groups to pull the rug out from under the anti-immigrant hustlers with a real program to discourage employment, but as soon as Trump's Supreme Court decides the Feds have a right to withhold funds from Sanctuary Cities they could do so.

At two sites I praised Philadelphia's Mayor Kenney emphasizing the 4th Amendment not Sanctuary's.

There is no need for cities to fight the gun lobby. People who get harassed into making a straw purchase for an aggressive relative also avoid the police when they are needed, Perhaps if they turn themselves in before getting caught they could get a $100 fine. The same if they just banished an unregistered gun at a robber if they report themselves when calling the police for help. Instead of the homeowner trying to solve the problem themself.


Every President since Jimmy Carter won in part by succeeding in the divide and conquer game. There is little else to Donald Trump besides expertise at “divide and conquer” and marketing skill. Let's counter with the let's all unite game. If we succeed Trump will brag about causing it.
