People to pray for during Trump presidency..

Who are going to be the most helpless victims of the loss of federal enforcement of civil rights laws, unraveling of Obamacare, increased tolerance of hate/misogyny, gutting of the EPA, loss of momentum on climate change mitigation, etc.?
I'd like to frame arguments against potential Trump policies based on who they impact in order to personalize this for Trump supporters. I consider myself to be pretty fortunate as I'm in good health and steadily employed in a liberal state. Who across the country will feel the impact (both near and long term) to a Trump presidency most acutely? For example, low income AIDS patients, people living in low lying areas of the world, people facing catastrophic illness.

This post was deleted for the following reason: Heya, I appreciate the sentiment here and we're still in the wake of a pretty worrisome election outcome, but we're gonna ask folks to try and aim for somewhat more concretely-framed questions about this stuff. If you're looking for ideas of where to focus, this new MetaTalk may end up being a decent resource. -- cortex
