@SenJeffMerkley Forced to give women & minorities rights against their wills. I was told this by one of them on 11/9/16. They voted 4 trump to make us 'relearn our place' & bow down to white men again. The problem is they underestimated women. They incorrectly assumed that they could silence 2/
@SenJeffMerkley All of us like they silenced us in our youth when they assaulted us. We're not the same women anymore. The pain they caused us has made us warriors. We will never allow them to hurt our children or grandchildren like they did us. A reckoning is coming. They know it. They 3/
