He's already dehumanising foreigners (claiming they're all criminals and eating peoples pets) and trying to claim LGBTI are criminals
So, it's not actually a joke. He has already started following the Nazi playbook

I'm watching it happen in real time and STILL questioning how it happened. Humans are some stupid motherfuckers. America burned its hand on Trump, and now a disturbing number of Americans are reaching for him again with the same hand, still blistered from the first time.
We need a solution to this, because honestly the US just lost its democracy.
It's 1933.
Any ideas on ways out of this?

Some of us are still trying to figure out how this happened here. At least in between trying to figure out where and how to flee the country, and shutting down entirely.
The next question now is. Will your neighbors/friends/relatives cooperate with the new SS (ICE)
I fucking hate our country right now. This country is the dumbest it’s ever been. There are no word as to how stupid this shithole is...
I would be more concerned if he were less stupid. Going by his last presidency he'll spend half his time golfing and the rest driving through ineffective "red meat" policies to get attention from his base. Ultimately he's just a pathetic man who craves attention.
What concerns me more is that his destruction of political norms means that someone who is similarly evil - but actually capable - might be able to use him as a template to take power in the future and make America into a dictatorship. Someone like Xi Jinping as opposed to an aging B-list celebrity.
You should be concerned regardless. He is backed by considerably smarter people whose agenda is way worse than last time. Regardless if Trump pays attention or not the worst people will be unhindered. He isn't even a blocking element to those people taking power because Trump is at worst a rubber stamp and more likely a corpse given his age and lifestyle.
Short version, there isn't even a remote, barely visible silver lining.
I'm still going to question it. We're literally living through it and I don't understand it.
And also, never, EVER tell me again that racists and misogynists are only old people.
I remember seven years ago. Beautiful IV Reich there with caged migrant kids, white Americans publicly scolding people for speaking Spanish, improvisation all around, xenophobia as a government policy, riots on the streets. A revolution is due.
