While we can agree on most things with Donald Trump, that lesser percent that we don't agree on is an important lesser percent. If Kavanaugh turns out to be another Kennedy, that SCOTUS is still in trouble until somebody else retires and hopefully Trump will nominate somebody like Barrett or Willett by then. But that's just one of the big issues.

It actually works out better when the Republicans are causing an uproar on their party and holding them accountable than if they aren't. Trump is much more likely to listen to people in his own party pounding the doors down than people in the Democratic Party. I can tell you one thing - if the people aren't holding Trump's feet to the fire, we will see mostly conservative legislation but we will see occasional major things slide by with positions like the EEOC and/or some of Trump's nominees for the lower and mid-level courts and maybe even the SCOTUS. We will also see planned parenthood continue to get funded, something which passed over and over and over again through the house, senate, and president these past two years.

There are many ways to voice displeasure. Sure, getting your like-minded friends together and talking with them about it is one thing. They are more likely to listen to you anyways than the other side. Then you have petitions, e-mails which are also important. Having spoken with people high up at places like the American Family Association and Family Foundation I can assure you that these types of campaigns have worked.

I do believe Donald Trump getting elected is a sign that the Republican Party continues to drift closer to the center but if conservatives can take on that brash nature Trump has and use it to advance the cause maybe we'll see the country swing to the right for once on an issue instead of the left. I will say, I do believe that if the people hold Trump accountable he will listen. But the people have to step it up - and not just Trump either. That goes for local, state, and national positions. Part of the reason we don't see the Democratic politicians caving as much on issues is because their constituents are obsessed on ensuring their liberal agenda gets pushed through.
