"I fear that if a leader who has given bigotry and violence against women, people of color, and people along the LGBTQ spectrum permission to thrive everywhere from his rallies to the playground, then more people of color, women and people along the LGBTQ spectrum will die if he is elected."

Mariam, you have good reason to be afraid.   When Obama was elected president, the George Wallace constituency slithered out of the sewer of American history to say that he wasn't even an American citizen despite the fact they nad zero evidence that he was foreign born.  After he was reelected that constituency is even angrier.  They  worked to get Trump the Republican nomination.  If Trump wins the presidency, this underbelly of the American body politic will feel their moment has arrived.  Heaven help us!
