If The GOP Got Is Way On Everything National To Local Level What Would The Country Look Like.

You really have to wonder what this country would look like if all the GOP policies passed. Wisconson and Kansas give us some idea. What else could these fools do? I fear to imagine what we have already seen.

We would also most likely be in the mist of a civil war too with the NE and West Coast as the free zones fighting off the regressives from the other regions

- No safe abortion -> back-alley-abortions -> more dead women

- abstinence-only sex-ed -> more pregnant teenagers

- War with Iran, Syria and Russia.

- global-warming keeps coming -> you can kiss Florida and Virginia goodbye

- global-warming keeps coming -> California would no longer be the US' agricultural hub -> increasing food-prices -> more agriculture in the Mid-West -> increasing the upcoming water-shortages in the Mid-West to the point of collapse

- global-warming keeps coming -> catastrophic snow-storms become a regular for the North-East

- tax-cuts -> the government will be "starved to death" -> without public investments the economy will slow down

- the social contract will be unravelled -> basic social rights will become commodities and only available for those who can afford them

- mass-deportation of illegal immigrants -> the economy will take a hit because no US-citizen is willing to do that shitty work for that shitty pay

- weakening of workers' bargaining-rights -> your wages will go down -> less consumption -> the economy will take a hit

- doing away with environmental protection -> poisoned rivers and devastated landscapes

- discrimination against those who aren't Christian, then against those that have a different skin-color, then another minority, then another minority, then another minority... then against your former friends and colleagues because they have the wrong version of Christianity and your's is the right one.
