This.

He did a wonderful job of saying whatever people wanted to hear — even if he contradicted himself — and lots of people selected for what they liked.

I think it's fair to say that we have very little idea of what he'll actually do.

We don't have bright line ideological tests but we already pretty much have a registry of inbound travelers.

I say bright line test because many visas require an in person interview prior to travel. That's a big opportunity to have de facto tests for the 'wrong' sort of person.

I think registry he means is the proposed registry of all muslims in the US. Trump also mentioned that it should be illegal for muslims to not report their neighbors, family and friends for registration too.

The problem is that even if Trump creates no actual anti-Muslim policies, his supporters have been given the green light to do whatever hate crimes they want.

I'm seeing this too: people are locking on a piece they don't like and completely ignoring the rest.

Judgement is subtractive. We are only as wise as our weakest deductive link.
