Probably after the other low-hanging fruit has been “dealt with”. They’ll start with illegal immigrants because they’re easier to pick out and have less people to stand up for them. Then they’ll turn their attention somewhere else, then somewhere else, but eventually they’ll get around to Atheists, because obviously they’re all ungodly heathens who commit all sorts of atrocities, not at all like Church leaders and devout Christians, who can do no wrong.
And that’s a dog whistle for “the coloreds”. Not just the illegals, but anyone who doesn’t “belong”. Racism and bigotry have never been more rampant in this country in my lifetime.
It’ll be the LGBT groups, just like last time. Do you hear how violent the rhetoric has become about trans people? They’re also a small enough and defenseless group.

But yes, it will be other groups before atheists.
