Being a history teacher, I can not help but notice Trump policies seem to have a goal of turning the clock back to the 1920's where racism was condoned and the KKK was a respected part in some regions. United States involvement in international organizations (the League of Nations at that time) was nonexistent as isolationism (or America First as it would be known when World War Two began)prevailed. Immigration restrictions were popular as laws against non-whites (back then the white population only included people of British, Irish, French and German ancestry) were widely supported. There were no New Deal, Truman, Great Society, or Nixonian Programs like Social Security, Civil Rights, the Minimum Wage, Medicare or the EPA.
We do not want to go back to the world of the 1920's.
