I don't want to be the harbinger of doom, but repugs will find out that their drumbeats against Trans will slowly tamper off, the effectiveness will wear off (but unfortunately the negative effects will linger around longer). But my point here is that they'll find another target to screech and yell about. Be on the lookout, be aware, be safe.

I guess I'm just paranoid, when the hate against one target fades away, the haters find yet another target. I like to think that such hate and such would be loudly disavowed by the masses, perhaps after a round or two of this 'hate', the rest of us will wake up, realize that this 'free speech' proclaiming their hate and such has gone far enough.
