Donald Trump has made his candidacy a reality today, this 20th of January, two-thousand seventeen. One of the pillars of his platform was a tough stance on Islamic Terrorism.
We will reinforce old alliances and form new ones -- and unite the civilized world against radical Islamic terrorism, which we will eradicate completely from the face of the Earth.
What worries me with all these kinds of statements is:
what and whose definition of 'radical" will be used?
what and whose defintion of 'terrorism" will be used? Will it remain the same throughout the eradication period or will it morph into something else over time? Will drawing an unrepresentative picture of the president by school kids be defined as terrorism?
is "Islamic terrorism' any different to any other "xyz's" terrorism?

Banning millions of people is not going overboard?
Not really, when it is a focused ban.
And Trump already told us what he would do. "Bomb the **** out of them"

My question is, what do you think will happen?
Nothing remotely good.
The iron claw of Trump's America will grip the nation, fascism will descend, and people will welcome it.
The stage has been set (through his own words), only a catalyst is needed.
