And now we have (thankfully) received a federal block of Travel Ban 2.0, just as with its original, citing once again that, however you state it, such and order would be an unconstitutional discrimination of a single religion. Forty-Five happened to be giving another of his campaign-style speeches to an audience of supporters south of the Manson-Nixon line (copyright Robin Williams) when the ruling was delivered, and preached to his choir about how he thinks they should just implement his original order.
It is this choir I fear. It's not even so much him, because when it comes down to it, we really don't know what is in Trump's mind or heart. He has lied so much I wonder if even he knows himself anymore. But what I fear is how what Trump says stirs the pot that irrationally justifies racism, bigotry, and xenophobia, all under the falsehood of being good Christians. And it will be these people who cast the first stone as they continue to worship their false idol Donald J. Trump, pretending God sent him to us to be president - yes, I actually read that in a thread today:
The anger and venom and hatred that gets spewed from all sides is terrifying. We can't have disagreements anymore without insults and threats generously peppered throughout the barrages. And that is why I fear CWII: it's not like the first war where we were essentially divided between north and south state borders. It is clear there are enough alt-right crackpot conservatives and uber-left lunatic liberals (copyright Dan Cole, The Common Man) everywhere that will make the second American Civil War that much more dangerous and bloody because we are intermingled with each other. And to top it all off, it will give terror organizations like Al-Qaeda (who set us all at each other's throats to begin with - you realize we are letting them win, right?), and real dictators like Kim Jong-Un and Putin, to swoop in and take us over completely while we wallow in our own self-inflicted shithole.
