Thank you.
It is so wearying, and predictable. He lined up all the ducks in a row long before the election. The people behind him had it all planned out before.
Hardest part for me is that he has so much support. People want this. Not all people but enough people.
I know, we're not allowed to make Hitler comparisons, but it's startling to know that in 1933 Hitler received 47% of the vote. In 1932 it was 33%.
Newsweek cites a recent January poll that places his approval among Republicans at 90%.
I think the greatest mistake we can make is to believe that other people share our values, that they want what we want. So a woman gets shot in the head? So ICE breaks down doors and enters houses. So Trump targets anyone and they get arrested.
Most of the people who supported this man in the election knew what they were getting. They don't value democracy. It's a dangerous ideal. Gives rights to the wrong people.
My son says I'm obsessed. He's right. But if not about this, then what?
