I appreciate Sarah Kendzior’s concern for her country and the refugee from Uzbekistan. I don’t live in the US and I don’t know anything about Uzbekistan other than what I’ve read on line (thank you Wikipedia). However, it seems to me that comparing Trump to Islam Karimov, Uzbekistan’s dictator for 25 years erodes the real meaning of dictatorship and what goes with it – things like torture, forced sterilizations, massacres and slavery. 
I agree that Trump is dangerous and likely people will die because of the racism he fuels but I don’t think a dictatorship is emerging.  As for Muslims and other refugees being kicked out of the US, I appreciate their anxiety. Many of them can’t go back to their countries of origin and survive. We have to make sure Trump doesn’t get away with evicting them.
