All the sacrifices and lives given throughout our history to keep our democracy n precious way of life n one man comes along with a desire to dismantle it all n he builds a cult n the followers are loyal. I feel like we are in the same position that Germany n Europe were in right before it started their hell on earth. Did the opposition feel they could stop it or were they overwhelmed? I feel like I’m about to walk into a nightmare but my heart will not accept this so I’m staying as positive as I can n hope all our efforts win this election…and the next one until we’ve defeated this fascist cult n their ideology. I wonder how my parents felt going off to war n what they would have to say now
