Thanks for the great comments, Ruth, with compelling visuals that really reinforce the words!
About rights: they don't come from a god, but they're not arbitrary grants from a government either. The most convincing position I've encountered (in a bit of casual reading; I Am Not A Philosopher) is that rights are recognized by people and governments in response to wrongs.

And what the hell is he doing in politics if our rights don't come from the government?!?! A bit hypocritical maybe?? What exactly does he think the government is for? Helping the rich remain rich and us 99% stay in our place and like it?

Talk about out of touch and delusional!! Eegads, I really, really hope that sanity, reason, and fear keep people for voting for the party that wants to drag us back to the Dark Ages. I have a good feeling reason will prevail, but still scared...a little...
