Someone recently warned me not to post things against Trump because I am married to a foreigner. That simple warning sent chills down my spine. I hold dual citizenship and carry an Italian name. Staying away from tRump is easy enough, but staying away from his minions is far more frightening. Why is the Supreme Court not acting upon this crisis in our country? How many idiots can one large country have? Who on earth ever put the notion in his head that he should rule the world? Why on earth are all these elected officials in our federal government so slow in stopping this madness? "Inquiring minds want to know."
It is truly terrifying, isn't it Christina! I am Canadian, and I have to confess that I am terrified by what is happening, and the lethargic reactions by so many average Canadians. I can totally see Trump and his gang leaders using military force to invade us. We have so much that they want.... our natural resources will be plundered and destroyed before we can even begin to fight back. And if I were you, I agree, I would be fearful of speaking out publicly, for the sake of your partner. The darkness is on our doorsteps, trying to get in.
Thank you for this very timely essay, Stephen. It's terrifyingly true, but so many North Americans have their heads buried in the sand because they simply cannot process the fact that Democracy is not to be taken for granted, we must fight to have it, and fight harder to keep it. Our parents and grandparents fought and died to give us this gift, but in trying to normalize and heal after their physical and mental sacrifices, they left our generation soft and stupid. When Trump's Military take to our streets to subdue us and take what is ours, they will then wonder "what is happening?". And it will be too late.
