5. "as well as voting records".....Don't think for one minute that this will only effect immigrants.

Once he’s done purging the minorities he’ll start coming after anyone and everyone who didn’t vote for him, or have sexual preferences that go against him, or ……..This is a much bigger issue than it initially appears.

We’re in for ten to fifteen years of fear, anxiety, insecurity, and rage before this mess comes to an end. Optimism preferred, the reality of his dictatorship doesn’t look like it will end anytime soon. He’ll rig the elections, put fear into those who don’t support him, and completely change American life as we knew it.

Violent overthrow? Who knows. Relying on an increasingly questionable election process? Who knows. We can all hope for a bright sunny day. We can try our best to counter a life changing political landscape, but the grim reality is staring us in the face.

When challenged, he often backs down, for as we all know, he’s a master at throwing shit on the wall and hoping that it sticks. Blue states need to confront him. If he can ignore the laws that govern society by ignoring court orders, so can we. Corporations need to confront him. Donors need to confront him. The citizenry needs to protest peacefully enmasse. Churches need to disown him. Republican representatives need to be converted to sane thinking - and there may actually be a few already. The police and military have to take their oath to the Constitution seriously (good luck with that one). Foreign leaders need to stand up to him and not be bullied by a guy who needs great big color pictures to understand a topic.

The process will be complicated and all encompassing but it can be done and hopefully without bloodshed.

His plans are still being revealed and implemented at a rapid pace. We need to counter at an equal pace and try as we may not to lose ground.
