2. We've been there for a while
One of the effects, apparently, is that stolen elections are just fine and dandy.

4. Abortion will be overturned.
That's for a start. Another four years of right-wing extremist court judges.

5. The last four years turned up to 11
The rich will get richer. The poor will get poorer. The world will look at us in disgust.

6. Effects of a 1 Party Government
1.The Gay community will be regulated to second class citizenship.

2.Look for the overturning of Roe v. Wade

3.The draft

4.Deep cuts in all social programs

5.A defense budget spent on neat toys and gadgets, that don't work.

6.The possibility of a state sponsored church.

7.Look for Patriot Act II

8.Social Security gutted, Medicare reduced to the bare minimum.

Anyone else want to take a stab at this?
