My plan to get back at Trumpsters when we re-take the White House. It doesn't involve repainting Air Force One pussy hat pink. Or taco trucks. No, I'd really fuck those guys over. First up would be universal health care which would include vision and dental. Then an increase to the minimum wage, perhaps even a guaranteed minimum income. That'd fix them.

I'd undo all Trump's tariffs so their jobs wouldn't be going to China. Ha! You're gonna have to work, suckers, for a living wage, no less.Then, when they're reeling, I'd bring in solar--- big. To hell with coal. Take that, non-existent coal jobs. All those environmental protections Pruitt got rid of? Ha, baby, I'm bringing them back. Clean water, air, and pulling species back from the brink make you nauseous? Well, screw you. You get it whether you want it or not.

And we're going to address climate change. Hell, yes, we are! Your grandchildren might end up with an actual world they can live in. And damn, we're going to take care of grandma, too. Expand Medicaid.Oh, wait, we got that covered under Universal health care. I know you wanted to see the old girl out on the street, but tough luck. Take that, Trumperinos! And(shudder) I'd bring back protections for workers as well, close the for profit prisons, and even let a few refugees into this damned country.

I'd install sensible gun laws and while Bubba's gasping, I'd take money right out of politics, so you could never amass obscene wealth as a US senator or Congressman or President. Or Lobbyist. And while I was doing all that, you know those crappy roads you love so much, those failing bridges and dams, the 19th century power grid we got going? Forget about it. I'm going to drag that sucker kicking and screaming into the 21st century. And I'm dragging you trogs in with it. Shit's going to be based on science, not your feelings. People gonna be judged by the content of their damned character. So there.

Oh, and just for kicks, I'd overturn that last tax scam that was passed to help subsidize Wall Street and the already filthy rich at the expense of.... pretty nearly all the rest of us. I'd see that women got equal pay. Yes, even black women. Even trans women. The wealth's gonna be spread around y'all. Get over it.

Got anything you want to inflict on the Trumpeteers, like--I don't know--equal justice under the law, a return of the fairness doctrine? Go at it. __June Freeman Baswell
