Trump's War on the Poor (We're Back to 1981)

Here is a good summation of the horror to come.

Trump/Ryan will almost certainly attempt to repeat what Reagan (disastrously) did in 1981: wage a war on the poor, the elderly and the disabled. It is virtually certain there will be widespread denial of coverage and people will be bankrupted.

When Reagan did this, there were many suicides nationwide.

The government reversed its course (belatedly) after many lawsuits were brought. American citizens will need to do this again. They will need to litigate against their government.

Health is no longer a concern in Trump's America. Protection of the vulnerable is no longer a concern in Trump's America. The only concern is that we subsidize and protect the rich. We can expect oversea wars to distract from what is happening at home. We already see the beginning of this with Trump's statement about seizing oil through future military action and his threatening military intervention in the South China Sea.

It's unbelievable, the degree to which this American election is going to destabilize the entire planet and turn us all back to darker days.
