Could Trump's Second Term Revive Jim Crow Laws and Slavery in America?😱

[Alex4]

I don't think so. What I do see as possible is the emergence of more subtle systems of oppression. Not written down anywhere as blatantly as in the 19th century, but still profoundly unjust.

If democracy dies by the end of Trump's second term as president, then could all Jim Crow Laws return, despite the widespread consensus that such laws are still unthinkable in today's society?

• Racial Segregation in the South and rural areas of the country
• Voting restrictions that make it impossible for most black and brown people in America to vote, especially in the South and rural areas of the country
• Black and brown people being subjected to cruel and unusual punishments such as lynching, extreme violence, arrests without cause, extreme fines, etc. especially in the South and rural areas of the country
• Signs: "Whites Only" and "Colored" signs used to enforce the racial order. especially in the South and rural areas of the country
• Forbidding interracial marriage, especially in the South and rural areas of the country.

How about slavery? Could that return as well?

I thought our society's progress since the 1970s, along with today's political and legal landscape, made it impossible for the Right-wing to revive past atrocities. However, I am not so sure about that anymore because of the unprecedented nightmarish political power Trump, MAGA, and the Republican party will all have starting in 2025.

Or is all of this crazy talk? 

No. I think the biggest threat is women's rights.

That's why so many women are freaking out right now.

There is an increase in Childfree Women, Abortion, Gender Wars, Divorce, Financially Independent Women etc....which is decreasing birth rates.

And decreasing birth rates, makes the wealthy elites lose power over the working class.

The wealthy elites are mostly angry with White Women, right now. As, the white population is dropping drastically.

The wealthy elites really want more White babies, but in the end......they just need more babies in general. And so, even Asian, Black and Hispanic women will be in trouble, if the birth rates keep dropping.

I see a "Single people without Kids" tax/fine............way before I see a "Black/Brown people" tax/fine.

Russia recently started to fine "child-free propaganda" in the amount 400,000 roubles ($4,100). Basically, people without children, who speak positively about their decision in public.

Racial Segregation in the South and rural areas of the country

Think about racial segregation in the age of Tiktok, Instagram and Zoom. Are they going to hack into Zoom calls and make sure everyone is the same race?

And this would also cause a lot of companies to lose out on money. If Disney World, Orlando Studios, vacation resorts, Nashville, etc. and all major companies in the South, decided not to allow minorities in, they will lose millions of dollars in revenue.

There will be major pushback, because of loss of revenue.

Black and brown people being subjected to cruel and unusual punishments such as lynching, extreme violence, arrests without cause, extreme fines, etc. especially in the South and rural areas of the country

It depends on if Black people decide to follow Martin Luther King (way of peace) or Malcolm X (way of justice).

And I think many African American men, especially, will follow Malcolm X instead.

This will be declaring a Civil War, again.

“Sometimes you have to pick the gun up to put the Gun down.” - ― Malcolm X

“Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery.” -  Malcolm X

“I don't even call it violence when it's in self defense; I call it intelligence.” - Malcolm X

Signs: "Whites Only" and "Colored" signs used to enforce the racial order. especially in the South and rural areas of the country

Gen Z and Millennials do too much therapy for this to be effective. 

No one will care about the signs and will ignore them, just like they did with the Social Distancing COVID19 signs. haha

There is going to be graffiti all over the signs and Meme's posted online about them.

It's such a different world.

Forbidding interracial marriage, especially in the South and rural areas of the country.

Trump chose JD Vance to be his Vice President.

JD Vance's wife is a brown Indian.

Wouldn't JD Vance need to get divorced?

How about slavery? Could that return as well?

The world is too technologically advanced for slavery. (in the old way it used to be)

Our biggest concern lately is running out of work.

The biggest threat we are dealing with is "Will robots take over our jobs?" and "Is AI going to take our jobs?"

Americans don't even want illegal immigrants to take our unsatisfying jobs. And are claiming "The illegal immigrants are stealing jobs from hard working Americans".
