I can’t deny that Trump has some Big Brass Ones. Calling for an end to Muslim immigration into the USA is something nobody else has the guts to do, in a culture where nearly everyone with a platform advocates wide-open borders. It’s hard to disagree with him when you examine the “religion of peace” and its practitioners honestly.
However, suppose by some alignment of miracles such a policy were seriously considered.
Assume Trump is legit, and really means what he’s saying. That doesn’t change the fact that 95% of the rich and powerful, and their government bureaucrat minions, refuse to see Muslims as anything but a minority class to be coddled and protected, while believing the REAL threat is posed by Christians, patriots, Constitutionalists, gun owners and veterans.
Assume that some such policy were actually instituted. Assume that our government began cracking down on Muslims. Deporting them, for starters. A move in the right direction, eh?
What you have then is a precedent. One that can be used to crack down on who the criminals in government really hate: Christians.
All it took was a few “deists” among the founding fathers to substitute the weasel word “religion” in the First Amendment in place of “Christian faith” or some equivalent. For generations nobody saw the danger in it and, in fact, it didn’t pose a problem. America was obviously a Christian nation and everyone knew that freedom of “religion” was a safeguard against any particular denomination getting state sanction to control all churches and individuals, like the Church of England had. Every American knew what “religion” meant in the Constitutional context until a couple generations ago.
But thanks to that weasel word (and the tolerant nature of most Christians) we now have Satanists and every other flavor of reprobate turning our culture upside down, rewriting our history, attacking those who protected them for two centuries, and attempting to seduce our children.
It’s a longshot at best that Trump’s proposal would ever be seriously considered by those to whom terrorism and immigration are but tools to help destroy the nation they hate. More likely, this and Trump’s faux pas about New Jerseyites celebrating 9/11 are just the early spasms in his staged self-destruction. But I’m not a psychic, so who knows?
If something miraculous took place and the ban on Muslim immigration happened, it would almost certainly backfire on those advocating it without thinking a few moves ahead.
Trump initiates a debate – his opponents turn „moral“ and blame him for all kinds of things. But the more time goes by the more people follow him and accept his positions. That is an interesting way of winning people over.

I don’t trust the guy, but I appreciate what he’s doing to the political landscape. Trump has revealed a significant voter base that is sick of the good cop/bad cop bipartisan political theater in the USA–a voter base I assumed didn’t exist. I salute him for that.
1. Operation Wetback removed illegal mexican immigrants. This has not been done to Whites. Race is not religion I get that, but its still a pretty close comparison.
2. As you said, the powers that be would stonewall Trump at every turn. If kebab was actually deported, then that means that the culture changed sufficiently to make deportations happen so Christians would be safe for at least a few generations.
3. If Christians then get deported after a few generations then they never had a future in this country, only a past. The wheel keeps spinning. Keep the faith and do the best you can.
Yes. I agree with everything you’ve written.
