These include:
- A 16-week national ban on abortion (individual states could go farther).
- An end to "no fault" divorce.
- Ending surrogacy.
- Using federal education funding to end sex education in schools.
- Change federal programs that penalize marriage.
- Revoke FDA approval of "chemical abortion drugs" and the ability to receive abortion drugs via mail.
- Protecting "religious and moral" objections for employers who decline contraception coverage for employees.
- Eliminate policies that "subsidize single-motherhood" (no specifics given).
- Increasing surveillance of abortion and maternal mortality reporting in the states.
- Invoking the Insurrection Act on Day One to quash protests.
- Refusing to spend authorized congressional funds on unwanted projects (a practice made illegal under Nixon) and fight the case to the Supreme Court.
- Eliminating the diversity lottery for immigration and reforming immigration criteria away from nation of origin, education, family connections, and employment to instead base immigration quality on their commitment to biblical teachings. Saying a person's background doesn't define who can enter the U.S., but rather, citing Biblical teachings, whether that person "accept[ed] Israel's God, laws and understanding of history."
- Create a new federal task force on fighting anti-Christian bias to be led by "a fully reformed Department of Justice that's fair and equitable."
- Get court rulings recognizing that the separation of church and state is "a commitment to an institutional separation between church and state, but not the separation of Christianity from its influence on government and society. Such a framework can lead to beneficial outcomes for our own communities, as well as individuals of all faiths."
- Eliminate funding for and penalize state programs that promote transgender acceptance and replace them with programs that attempt to help correct gender confusion in youths. |
A lot of those items cannot be done without congress. Pretty much sounds like a lot of BS dog meat. |
Trump said he would be a dictator for a day if elected again. We ignore that threat at our own peril. Hoping our checks and balances, and a few morally just cabinet members, save our ass again is way too risky.
You are correct that in normal times, all that would be BS. But we no longer exist in normal times. Trump has proven his party will bail him out of any impeachment proceedings. Trump has proven his Supreme Court (if he doesn't dismantle it) will dance around any legal challenges. We can't afford to take Trump's intentions seriously only after it is too late.
