When you talk about a dystopian hellscape, the thing that comes to mind for me is what I saw with my own eyes, the separation of 5,500 children deliberately by Donald Trump and his administration as a matter of deterrence in order to scare people away from coming to this country.
Physicians for Human Rights called it torture. They won a Nobel Peace Prize. The American Academy of Pediatrics called it government-sanctioned child abuse.
And that is a policy that was uniquely Trumpian. It had never been done before. It has not been done since.
