Majority Rules

By Miss Kubelik

We cats just want to declare tonight: They will not win.

Trumpsters will not end up deciding the reproductive choices women make. They will not determine whether trans kids get the healthcare they need. They will not proclaim that the NRA's position on guns will rule. They just won't.

Why? Because while they appear to be powerful and in control— because Trump appointed a bunch of judges and legislatures in red states are making repulsive decisions — they really aren't. Not in the long run.

We believe that the American experiment is alive and well. When rights are declared/interpreted, this rule applies: Who's next? The Constitution leaves open the possibility that more and more Americans can claim self-determination through the rights it confers. That's its genius.

So all of us, no matter what cohort we belong to, must keep the pressure on. Whether we're Black, gay, female, whatever — our rights matter, and will be protected. And oh, by the way, the Women's March in 2017 was the largest ever in DC history. We all knew what was coming. We cats PURR.
