We don’t know if his belief that African-Americans have nothing to lose means that he’s planning on taking away rights — after all, he talks about “your schools” as though he were unaware of, or unsupportive of, the Brown v. Board of Education ruling.      

We don’t know if he’d actually punish women for having abortions, call them pigs or drool over his own daughter like a creepy uncle.

We don’t know if he would fill the White House staff with white supremacists, workplace sexual aggressors and agents for foreign interests.

We don’t know if he would rally his supporters to commit acts of violence at rallies and intimidate voters at the polls.  

We don’t know if he’d try to scrub any mention of Barack Obama from American history after producing fake documents to show that his predecessor was in fact born in Kenya.

We don’t know if he would reveal the contents of intelligence briefings on television.  

We don’t know which conspiracy theories he would embrace and which ones he would reject.  

We don’t know if he’d actually waste billions of dollars of Americans’ money on building a wall between the U.S. and Mexico.
