He has in essence been inciting a lynch mob and now that they are in power, it will be about revenge which they will call “taking back our country”.
The Trump administration will make every effort to undo the progress that has been made in civil rights, but the genie is out of the bottle and there is going to be fight. There will be physical and emotional violence, and sadly it looks like it cannot be avoided. Our nation is divided and both sides are digging in. The mob is emboldened and out for revenge and to maintain our civil rights we have to fight them. There is no other choice. I honestly don’t see how it will be avoided. What I fear and dread most is that this violence will likely be worse than 60’s.
The set back to civil rights that America has voted in tells me it will be many, many years before Americans will be anything resembling unified, if that can ever happen at all. I think the divisions are too deep.
