Re: Election pools
I started off aiming for representative groups that Trump has particularly offended and abused. That seems appropriate. So, I eliminated "Queer civil rights" because he doesn't seem too homophobic. But the list is still pretty long.
I'm zeroing in on direct action because that's how I am.

Can't leave out Muslims and women, though, because that's how Trump is.

Re: Election pools
We don't yet know whether Trump will listen to Pence and the fundies, but he very well might.
Strengthening laws against sexual assault not on the list? Hmmm....
“I’m a Christian, a conservative and a Republican … in that order.”
American not on the list? Hmmm....

Re: Election pools
Huh, I didn't notice the anniversary date of Kristallnacht when I posted about it above.
Ku Klux Klan to hold North Carolina rally celebrating Trump victory
... In 1927, Donald Trump's father was arrested after a KKK riot in Queens when over 1,000 white-robed Klansmen marched through the Jamaica neighbourhood.
A Daily Star article stated that Trump Senior was detained "on a charge of refusing to disperse from a parade when ordered to do so."
On Wednesday (9 November), protesters took to the streets in at least 10 US cities to march against president-elect Donald Trump. Nazi graffiti was spray painted on the glass window of a South Philadelphia building with the words "Seig Heil 2016", while a swastika was added to the word Trump.
The Philadelphia Police Department are investigating the vandalism although have not yet said whether it will be treated as a hate crime.
The incident happened between 9–10 November, the 78th anniversary of Kristallnacht, when Jewish-owned businesses were attacked by the Nazis in Germany. Synagogues were set on fire and nearly 100 Jews were killed.
"We are horrified by the appearance of hate graffiti on a storefront in South Philadelphia," said Nancy K. Baron-Baer, regional director of the Anti-Defamation League. "Swastikas and the Nazi salute send a message of intolerance and hate to the entire community. The fact that today is the 78th anniversary of Kristallnacht adds another layer to this already sickening act."
