Just when I think we have reached the lowest point possible, we have a week like this past one. The floor falls away and I am falling into an abyss. I am now truly afraid of what is happening in our country and it is literally making me sick.
People need to read the plans Trump’s team is putting out. He has surrounded himself with angry extremists who want to take us back, literally, to the 1800s. I do not think 40 to 48 percent of Americans (his polling share) want the future that is articulated in those plans. The problem is that they do not fully know what is being proposed. Instead, they react to the sound bites that smooth over the most threatening elements of Trump’s plan. If elected, he will decimate the judicial system and federal law enforcement, obliterate all social programs (including Social Security and Medicare), and he hunt down those that oppose him. He repeatedly says he is running to get retribution from those who have wronged him. His hand-picked Supreme Court has made it clear they will protect him. He will have powers far beyond any previous president and there will be no way of stopping him.
The only way to prevent this is for him to lose the election.
Ironically, today is the 4th of July.
