Even
before today's Roe v. Wade march some pro-lifers were upset with
Trump calling for jailing women for having abortion something every
major Western anti-abortion group disagrees with. Trump is also not
good for the image of the NRA, and actually drums down real concerns
concerning immigration. People want to fight with Trump and end up
distracted fighting each other.
I
came across an amazing article I had missed, I hope the author
updates it
Donald Trump Would Set Back The Pro-Life Cause More Than Hillary Would

Besides
Trump hurting the soul of the pro-life movement. The NRA wants guns
for quiet protection or insurance, whether the safety guns provide is
real or not, not to brandish around to gain influence with. (Such as
Trump saying “Hillary Better
Watch Out”) Trump makes people think the NRA are goons.
There
must be
similar article
somewhere on Trump discrediting the 2nd
Amendment cause. I haven't
yet found.
When
it comes to immigration. if travel between nations to get work was as
easy as between cities Americans would earn less than a dollar an
hour and be hungry some of the time. However there is no real "Save
our nest egg" movement to punish employers or give hospitals the
payments they would get had the undocumented workers who now need
hospital care had employer paid health insurance etc.
Perhaps
the Sanctuary Movement should give up something urging that employers
pay lost city and state taxes by not collected by not paying
immigrants prevailing wages etc. Someone may want bilingual
babysitters and childcare, helping the child in many ways including
some protection from Alzheimers, but the urge to replace US workers
to save money would be missing.
If
Sanctuary groups and cities like Philly would start to make sure
employers pay prevailing wage for under-the-table workers, Trump
would lose his ability to scapegoat Mexico.
It's probably too early for immigrant groups to pull the rug out from under the anti-immigrant hustlers with a real program to discourage employment, but as soon as Trump's Supreme Court decides the Feds have a right to withhold funds from Sanctuary Cities they could do so.
At two sites I praised Philadelphia's Mayor Kenney emphasizing the 4th Amendment not Sanctuary's.

There is no need for cities to fight the gun lobby. People who get harassed into making a straw purchase for an aggressive relative also avoid the police when they are needed, Perhaps if they turn themselves in before getting caught they could get a $100 fine. The same if they just banished an unregistered gun at a robber if they report themselves when calling the police for help. Instead of the homeowner trying to solve the problem themself.
Every
President since Jimmy Carter won in part y succeeding in the divide
and conquer game. There is little else to Donald Trump besides
expertise at “divide and conquer” and marketing skill. Let's
counter with the let's all unite game. If we succeed Trump will brag
about causing it.
