I mean, let’s face it guys. Trump has somehow proven to be just as bad as everyone expected in record time. All those hopes of “he won’t be able to actually do anything” have proven to be very sadly mistaken. I don’t want to sound like doomsaying frevious, but the country is hurtling straight towards fascism.

Plenty of GOP Senators, Representatives, and other elected officials publicly derided Trump’s calls for an immigration ban during his campaign (VP Pence included). The fact that they’re all willing to roll over and let Trump do his thing is utterly disgraceful. If Congress let’s shit like this (and all of Trump’s other heinous plans) come to be, and I don’t even want to think of what comes next. If these people are willing to sacrifice the basic tenants of our country and democracy for the sake of partisan politics then we’re headed to a dark place.
Yo, dude you know it’s a bad idea when none other than Tricky Dick Cheney himself says it’s a bad idea.

Cheney, a decisive conservative himself, said Monday on The Hugh Hewitt Show that the ban “goes against everything we stand for and believe in.”
“I think this whole notion that somehow we can just say no more Muslims, just ban a whole religion, goes against everything we stand for and believe in. I mean, religious freedom has been a very important part of our history and where we came from,” Cheney said on a Monday appearance on the radio show. “A lot of people, my ancestors got here, because they were Puritans.”
