(24,792 posts)There was once a European regime that opted for deportation of undesirable outlanders as its plan A. When that failed for several entirely predictable reasons, they went with a backup plan B, a "final solution" as it were. So far, history has taken a dim view of said regime and its policies.
You're vastly understating the chance that Trump implements any particular one of his nutty fiscal policies that spell doom for millions of people, including those that voted for him. First, he's Donald Trump, the once and future president of an information-age superpower. Second, he's Donald Trump, and he doesn't get held accountable for the horrible disasters he causes. Third, he's Donald Fucking Trump, and he'll do this shit for fun just so he can brag about it for his mass-media toadies.
Don't underestimate the power of propaganda, or the pervasiveness of stupidity. All he has to do is go on a Fox News morning show, talk up his amazing plan, call the critics liars, claim no American is ever hurt by his policies, and blammo! 50%+ support. This is the nightmare we're dealing with.
