3. This makes Stephen King's books seem more like The Wizard of Oz.

I think I will curl up in a fetal position and suck my thumb for a while, lol.

It sounds like a terrifying read.

Removing the guns is a nice touch. That makes it so that both sides of the political spectrum can be horrified at just how horrible life under a Trump second term could become.

I do have a suggestion about Trump's wall. You could mention how it ends up being used to keep Americans IN instead of other people out. That would add to the horror of it all. That is how lots of walls countries build end up being used. So, it would definitely add to the story in a way that drives the point home about how short-sighted the idea of building a wall really is.
