So far they have announced a desire to resurrect [View all]

Congressional Committees to "investigate" anything they deem as Un-American activities. They've long ago announced a desire to shut down broadcasters and go after news outlets. You can be sure they will not shrink from going after websites.

They have announced their proposal for a commission to examine and purge military brass/command.

They have announced a huge deportation effort and a huge increase in workplace raids. You can be sure if you are Latino it will not matter that you are a US citizen or here on a work visa etc. because you can bet that they will engage in surveilling you if you live in areas of businesses they're interested in. They will be building "intelligence" files. Welcome back to the J. Edgar Hoover days.

The list will grow and you can be sure they will once again implement some sort of "Muslim" ban. You can be sure they will be moving aggressively at universities to identify and surveil opposition activists.

Things are looking to be moving fast and they will get even faster once he is sworn in. I anticipate that any court rulings against anything they do or set-up will be ignored including anything from the Supreme Court. The planned purge in military and enforcement personnel will reduce the effectiveness of a court decision against them to simply words on a page.
