Yeah, I've been thinking that to. Remember, history-nerd here... :-P I see the parallels far to well to other leaders in history, many of them. And the US police force and military force are very strong and very well armed. Both of them. Which does not bode well if it ends up that bad.
I sincerely hope it won't. :-/ But sitting over here, it doesn't look to good, to be honest. Gawd, I'm sorry. I just wish I could snatch you and your family up and move you here.
I just hope that all the protests and everything going on can continue. Not only that they won't be stopped, but that people keep their strength to keep it up. Because that most dangerous thing is when the people give up, get desensitized and just stop caring. THAT's dangerous.
I understand wanting to cut Trump supporters out of your life.
My entire family are Republican, and I am not talking to so much as one of them. It's lonely, but I CANNOT abide what they've done. Also, I am so worked up about it, I become inarticulate. I'd like to be about to counter all their talking points with cogent facts and more facts, but I'm too emotional and I picture myself simply foaming at the mouth.
Yes, I totally get it. It's be nice to be able to win people over to the side of sanity, but I just find myself gibbering with rage.
To me it doesn't seem as if those that voted for Trump, his supporters, can even listen to facts. They come up with their own facts and their own counter arguments, and then they only see that and can't see anything else. As if they have blinders on, only being able to look straight ahead, and not see how others might experience the situation.
Fingers crossed for the ACLU. Really. I've donated from over here. There's not much else I can do. At least there are some decent people over in the US. Which I knew, but still.
Something has got to give and I really hope that if he keeps pushing like this, impeachment will happen. Even the Republicans are finally growing a pair and speaking out against him. I just don't know what to do...
I don't think anyone really know what to do. Except those that support him, it seems. :-P I've donated to ACLU, because it feels like that is all I CAN do from over here. I just don't understand why no one really does speak out against him when he does all these insane things...
