Even now, as all of this unfolds, I am known as the “one who always has to bring up politics” among my friends of 30 years.

How is everyone not talking about this constantly?!

Do they not SEE what is happening?

Or, do they have such an entitled (now false) sense of safety having grown up in America, where we never believed this could happen?

The most damaging response to this disaster we stepped into is, “I don’t like politics.” Well, it’s not “politics”; it’s your life and the life of future generations (if we are lucky to have them). We just gave our lives away. The choice is to ACTIVELY take it back or suffer in the hole we dug for ourselves. The second most dangerous line is, “I didn’t vote for him.” Congratulations - that is not enough. If you’re not ACTIVELY doing something to keep this democracy in place, then I hope you realize your vote is not enough and in many places may not have counted.

Do something before it’s truly too late.
