Diversity Makes Greatness
Hello Centerleftfl,
I was heavily depressed for a week after the 2016 election. I was mourning for our country. I was very fearful that Trump was going to destroy climate change action and possibly start a nuclear war.
I have learned to live with those fears just as I have learned to live with the constant nuclear threat and all other threats to peaceful life.
We are still here. Trump has not destroyed everything. He has caused great damage (Damage America Greatly Again) but we are still here. We need to fight back, oppose him, resist, make sure we get rid of him as soon as possible, and in the duration do everything possible to check, balance and limit his power to trash our lives and our nation. Since most Republicans are complicitly quiet and unwilling to oppose Trump, we are going to have to have a Democratic sweep, and hope a Dem Congress will do a better job of opposing Trump - for the good of the USA.
I'm more VISCERALLY fearful for my country NOW than any time before. 9/11? Maybe for 24 hours. Cuban missle crisis? For a couple of weeks. (My father was a sailor and he had his seabag packed at the ready next to the door the whole period. He was attached to an aircraft carrier that was the CLOSET point to Cuba).
