I see Trump installing curfews and Finger men. I see Trump conducting chemical and biological warfare experiments on the less fortunate. I see Trump outlawing all news outlets except one (take a guess) and making that propaganda network the only "news" network in the country. I see Trump sending out thugs to black bag those who publicly criticize or mock him (Alec Baldwin better get round the clock security).
Trump is woefully corrupt (and he called Hillary "crooked?"), has the maturity and attention span of a rich spoiled 4th grade playground bully, and is most likely psychotic. Unfit for office. Impeach. -

I somewhat worry if he's going to take the "Lineage" loophole, as I call it (not sure if it actually has a name, if anyone here knows let me know.) It's something Hitler and Lord Voldemort both used. Allow me to elaborate
Hitler only killed 6 million Jewish people in the death camps. But there were 11 million killed in all. A small minority amount to other groups he deemed bad too, such as the mentally or physically disabled, but they still don't amount to even half. So what is that other large group?
That large group was people who weren't any of these things. Not saying that makes them more innocent, all these people were innocent. But the horifying fact is that many of them weren't Jewish but arrested as such anyway. Why? Because they were the descendant of a Jewish person or the cousin of one or the distant relative of one. That was all that was needed for him.
The fictional character of Lord Voldemort notably took this loophole too, although it's not mentioned in the movies. It mentions how he arrested the relative of a muggle-born wizard, but that guy was pure-blood! (Meaning he had no half-bloods or muggle-borns in his entire ancestry, the very people Voldemort was trying to empower)
I'm worried that Trump may use this loophole with the Muslim ban and Mexican deportation. It's bad enough he's even persecuting those minorities, but to persecute people not even meant to be affected by his grand scheme is even worse. The signs are strong as he already seems to have modified his original plan to ban those of Muslim decent, now going as far as to ban countries instead of just people. He originally planned to just ban people registered as Muslim, but now he's banning entire countries altogether so long as they contain a large population of Islamic followers.
This is exactly the kind of thing seen in London in this motion picture I've had the immense pleasure of viewing for the first time. Only there's no glorious V in all his swashbuckling glory to swoop down and save us.

Trump is not Adam Sutler, he's not V either. There are disturbing reactionary trends on both side of the political spectrum to be sure. Since it seems that it's mostly liberals on this thread let me ask you a question. What is your opinion on what happened at UC Berkeley? A man was allowed by one of the most liberal Universities to speak, I agree that he is a pretty provocative person and I don't agree with his views but a riot broke out by leftest wearing masks starting fires destroying property and assaulting campus Republicans and took over the first floor of the lecture hall and the speaker had to be snuck out of the building by police.
I think the lesson of this movie is be weary of anyone that wants to censor or shut down the actions or words of others.
