I'm not going to lie, this shit makes my blood run cold. Violence against minorities is not getting better in the US - over 20 trans women were murdered for being trans last year. That doesn't include suicides, that's just people killed by other people (sometimes brutally ) it doesn't include trans men either. trans women of colour are overrepresented in the stats.

    4) Get used to insane demagogues on the right, but don't expect them to win

I'm curious what will happen if for some reason Trump can't get a majority of delegates, and is maneuvered out of the GOP candidacy (the establishment hates him enough to try it). Will he take it lying down? will he run as a 3rd party candidate? what will happen with the GOP?
