I wish I were wrong. Much that many of us thought impossible in America because 'this is America' is now possible. Most of what is newly possible is at best awful and at worst horrific. This is a Crisis Era, and in no other stage in history do ththe morals, virtues, preparation, and wisdom of upper leadership have more critical to having a good or bad ending. I can imagine bad leadership creating enemies more dangerous to American leadership in politics and econoimic life than the Axis fascist pigs were. The Axis powers sealed their demise with their depravities. We will be better off if the Lincoln/Juarez/FDR/Churchill leader is ours, and not the leader of an enemy power.
Trump is the worst President that we have ever had -- by far.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
