General John Kelly: "He said that, in his opinion, Mr. Trump met the definition of a fascist, would govern like a dictator if allowed, and had no understanding of the Constitution or the concept of rule of law."

You apparently missed the Student Religious Belief Protection Act from the GOP State Senator in Oklahoma.

Here's some relevant text...

"No public school of this state, shall employ or contract with a person that promotes positions in the classroom or at any function of the public school that is in opposition to closely held religious beliefs of students.

And it is enforced by... wait for it... a 10K personal fine against the teacher, after a parent complains. It is using the same enforcement mechanism that Texas is using so as to not entangle the "state" and avoid judicial review.

Of a clearly unconstitutional law.

Don't wait for Ted Cruz and his ilk will pull their constitutions out and fume about freedom of religion, or a right to have no religion in America, as guaranteed by that Constitution.

Ho hum. Simply in keeping with the "new" normal in Evangelical Christianity in the Deleded Minds of the rabid Chtristian Right in America. Wait, it's only going to get even more oppressive and irrational...

How long before the Witch Trials and Warlock Trials burnings begin?

Anon... as a longtime believer, it won't be the Salem Witch Trails 2.0, rather it will look more like the Inquisition. And that's where we'll see those who do not tow the orthodox line not just theologically, but politically as well will be banished to God knows where.
