I've heard many of my Republican friends say "give him a chance"

"I've heard many of my Republican friends say 'give him a chance.'"

Hell no.

I won't give him a chance to tell blatant lies to the American people about voter fraud that doesn't exist. (A guy who made an app told me 3-5,000,000 pesky illegals voted for Hillary even though there's absolutely zero evidence to back that up. I like this guy. He's the best guy.)

I won't give him a chance to appoint unvetted and unqualified cronies to the Cabinet. (Beware the Grizzlies! Lookin' at you Betsy!)

I won't give him a chance to approve torture. (Remember how he likes soldiers who 'don't get captured' LOL!)

I won't give him a chance to "take the oil". (That there's a war crime, kids!)

I won't give him a chance to let 36,000 Americans die every year by repealing the Affordable Care Act without a decent replacement. (We're pro-life, but not THAT pro-life!)

I won't give him a chance to privatize Medicare and Social Security. (Old people aren't like wives. You can't just trade them in for a newer model.)

I won't give him a chance to put profits over our planet and control, fire, or silence the scientists and researchers who are desperately trying to save our planet from catastrophic and irreversible damage by humans. (I wonder how much stock in oil companies he has. I guess we'll never know! Ha ha!)

I won't give him a chance to take away the rights of LGBTQ Americans that we have fought so hard for. (Although maybe we should listen to a guy who is on his third marriage. He's apparently really good at getting married. He's had all the best marriages. He'll probably have lots more marriages.)

I won't give him a chance to demonize, vilify, and destroy the hope and safety of immigrants who cause no harm to our country and to refugees who are desperately trying to escape the terror of our own enemies. (Maybe shoulda run that Executive Order past an actual lawyer instead of Steve Bannon, eh?)

I won't give him a chance to dismantle our National Security Council, leave our State Department in shambles, and flirt with the thought of using nuclear weapons. (Dude. You're gonna get us all killed. Seriously.)

I won't give him a chance to put the wall on my tab and piss off one of our closest allies sparking a trade war. (Americans really like cheap avocados and we WILL remember next time we vote!)

I won't give him a chance to profit off the presidency, engage in nepotism, and make policy that will benefit countries in which he does business. (Yeah, he's already actually doing all those things.)

I won't give him a chance to repay Putin, Russian Oligarchs, the Russian mafia, and all of the foreign banks he owes money through special favors that can only be bestowed by the president they paid for. (Release your taxes already. Regular Americans really do want to see them. I promise.)

I won't give him a chance to silence or control the press or suppress the First Amendment. (It's our responsibility to determine what's 'fake news'. A news outlet isn't fake just because they publish a story critical of you. Grow up.)

If he wants to start acting presidenty, fine. I don't want to see our country and democracy go down in flames. But right now, this guy is throwing gasoline around and his minions are all standing around with matches ready to strike.
