So you think genocide could never happen in America?

This is worryingly too close to the mark:

Given what’s happening today, it might be a good idea to keep one eye on this list. Keep in mind the process which turns democracy into autocracy, tyranny, and genocide is usually not a short one. Genocide most often arrives, not after powerful, sweeping blows from a sledgehammer, but from the patient nibbling at the margins from rubber mallets over a long period of time.

We must not make the mistake of underestimating the evil that this man is capable of.
