The election of Trump wouldn't mean anything in particular for naturists. If there are any elections that hold any specific meaning it will be state and local elections. That is where the laws are written that affect us.

I blame the Democrats for Trump's success. Today's Democrats do not reflect the citizenry any more than the MAGA extremists. They have allowed the Progressives to become the ideological face of the party. They advocate revolutionary change while most Americans will only accept evolutionary change in small easily chewed and swallowed bites. It is too easy to get them worked up about "woke" politics or Transgender theory. You cannot push change before the people decide they want it.

Before she became VP, Harris was a self described Progressive. That is a liability here.

Trump himself doesn't mean that much. If the GOP manages to take both Houses of Congress, that could be a problem. Trump could then do as he wishes. The Senate wouldn't impeach and the House of Representatives wouldn't deny him the funding. Since he already has the Supreme Court in his pocket there isn't a lot to stop him from passing any law he wants. Fortunately, he's mostly bullshit and bluster. Four more years of His Odiousity.

If he were someone who was clever and well versed in playing the system were elected, it could be big trouble. He isn't.

It doesn't matter whether Trump or his followers support or not support nudism. He nor Congress mandate that nudism is illegal or whatever. The U.S. Constitution clearly and correctly states:

Amendment 10

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

The decision is based on the electorate in each state. Some conservatives believe in nudism/naturism, some don't. Each person has the right, and in my opinion, responsibility to research what is important to them and then make a decision as to how they will live their lives and to vote.

I am a conservative, a devout and traditional Roman Catholic, nudist and live in a nudist resort, Mass every Sunday, receive the Sacraments, etc. I don't believe in Government knows all or that politicians or bureaucrats can fix everything. Each of them has their own "thing." Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Independent.

Don't assume what you not know. Test everyone!
