  This country has a sordid history when it comes to using/testing bio weaponry against those it designates as "non-people." Beginning with blankets coated in syphilis weaponized against the native population to experiments on black airmen at Tuskegee. Trump referred to "very great people on both sides" of the Nazi rally in Charlottesville that led to the brutal murder of anti-hate protester Heather Heyer. He hesitated to denounce the endorsement of David Duke, a former Grand Wizard of the KKK. He appointed Jefferson Sessions, rejected from a federal judgeship for his racism, to the top law enforcement position in the nation. Under his watch they dismantled anti-violence police oversight programs and narrowed anti-terrorism efforts to draw attention away from domestic white-supremacist groups. Stephen Bannon, brought into the White House as a senior advisor, helped coalesce support for Trump on the web, forming groups on forums like 4chan and Breitbart rife with eugenicist-apologia and genocide normalization strategies. This is all well documented, here's a great read on it: https://www.buzzfeed.com/josephbernstein/heres-how-breitbart-and-milo-smuggled-white-nationalism https://www.buzzfeed.com/josephbernstein/heres-how-breitbart... It's necessary to be aware of history and sensitive to the parallels in the present day.
