And so now what? The supreme court has upheld the travel ban. This is insane and ridiculous. Can anyone please try and see the outcome of this?
I think this is a distraction. The countries that are on the ban are countries where the US have no influence. This is just to weaken those countries and disrupt them so that they come into the 'American' fold.
If Trump really wanted to 'protect' the US then he should have banned travellers from countries like Saudi Arabia or Egypt as this is where the majority of the 9/11 hijackers came from.
I'm sorry to say I see more far-right attacks and them becoming stronger because of this. And I think this ban will be used as a first step for restricting movement. I wish I could see the light at the end of this and a new president undoing it all, there is still more to play out.
I know this is too utterly hopeful, but is it all possible that if truth about Russian involvement in the election gets revealed and shows that Trump did not honestly win the election, there will be some kind of revocation of justices and federal judges he puts in place? Otherwise, Trump's appointments are going to repress, suppress, and oppress for a lifetime.
