Is it impossible?

Today I read that Trump will bar Muslims from entering The U. S. and all Muslims in this country must be registered. I suspect a lot of people will agree because of terrorist attacks. Bill O’Reilly claims that Democrats are trying to undermine the white establishment. These possibilities make me wonder how long will it be before people supporting climate change, women’s rights and a host of other progressive issues will be considered un-american therefor subversive and banned; even to the point of criminal prosecution. Suddenly the bill of rights no longer applies if it conflicts with the agenda the government is pursuing. All citizens, regardless of being liberal or conservative, will be forced to accept new rules set by those who are in power. Sounds impossible, but think about it. Even a post like this could lead to a knock on my door.

...in early 1967. It was a few monthß before my 12th birthday and I'd just come to the conclusion that the Vietnamese was wrong.

The old saying is true. When Facism comes to America it will be wrapped in the American flag. What they missed is that it would also be wearing stupid baseball caps with "make America great again" on the front!

PEACE!
