Restoring segregation, ethnic internment, forced relocations, curfews, plenty of things seem plausible when a enigmatic, grabby racist tycoon sweeps into power seemingly soon to take control of every branch of government.
Me, I don't think Trump will want to restore the Confederacy, but then I didn't think Chief Justice Roberts would, either, and look what he's managed to do in a short while.
Hard to know what to take for granted and what not. I'd like to be pleasantly surprised with only mild batshit craziness, but it's very easy to imagine some dealbreakers.
American history is much richer than is taught in schools. Go figure. Internment isn't something that only happened to the Japanese or only under one administration. If you were to guess what's next based on what's not taught in U.S. schools, but has ample precedent in U.S. history nonetheless, you'd be forgiven for anticipating some dark shit.
You take charge of watching for reassuring signs Trump believes in modern, pluralistic civil society with basic values like equality under the law, universal suffrage, national parks and the Americans With Disabilities Act.
Me, I might be looking more for whether, as American caesar, he'll be claiming jus primae noctis.
OK, maybe Armageddon is upon us!

True, I mean we did that to the Japanese under that despot Roosevelt.

That's not fair, you get to look for all the juicy bits.
