It is a gray, rainy weekend here in San Francisco. I took a short walk this morning and the air felt fresh and clean.
I have been thinking a lot about whether we are entering an era of fascism. Many of my friends think so, but I doubt it.
Nevertheless, the evidence is there to support their view. Trump and his supporters have suggested that all Muslims be "registered," and some have said they should be put into concentration camps.
In case anyone thinks this is a Republican problem I would point out that Japanese-Americans were rounded up and interred under a Democratic president during World War 2.
All it may take would be one more terrorist attack on the homeland by a n Islamic extremist to provoke President Trump to enact such a plan.
The question is what would the rest of us do about that?
