For all the media likes to call it unprecedented, the kind of stuff Trump has been up to (using anti-immigrant sentiments to gain power and then implementing draconian laws to target them, critics, and whatever other minority groups are unpopular with conservatives at the time) has occurred over and over again throughout the history of the US. This isn't a defense of him, but it should be considered that Trump is merely the tip of the iceberg, and if things manage to swing back the other way as they have before, without any fundamental change to our electoral or economic systems, this stuff won't actually be gone, just hidden again until the next time comes around.
Yeah, I’m glad that people are upset about it, but this isn’t a new thing for the United States. We’ve been down this road before.
Still within living memory.
George Takei was 4 when he and his family were put in a Japanese internment camp. Ruby Bridges, the first black student to attend a white-only school during desegregation, is only 70, currently lives in New Orleans, and is a prominent civil rights activist in the area.
The US doing anything for the betterment of society was a blip in its overall history, and done in spite of this country and its values, not because of them.

Andrew Jackson 2: AI-Crypto Boogaloo
King Jackson throws his own hands tho and doesn't have bone spurs
Side question, what would he dislike more, being the most popular face on a central bank note or that there was a proposal to replace him with Harriet Tubman, a black woman.
Wilson as well.
