Encouraging signs?  Nazis marched in Ohio, the Klan and Nazis think that 
they have their man in the White House.  Trump has just confirmed that 
he plans to declare a national emergency that would allow the military 
to assist in his mass deportations.  There are an estimated 11 million 
undocumented immigrants in the US.  As crazy as it may seem Trump seems 
to be planning Nationwide concentration camps to collect these people 
for deportation.  The claim is that 56% of those polled support 
deportation.  My guess is that a lot of them do not understand that they 
are supporting.  It sounds like bad fiction, but that is what our nation 
has come to.  Trump seems to have allowed people to express their darker 
side.  It isn't the side that made this country great.
