One after 101

10. It is useful to understand systems and leadership styles

But it doesn’t change anything that happened.

I am willing to do just about anything to salvage democracy. But I think it’s too late.

Any action I am given to do that would help, I will do it. For example I will write to DOJ as you suggested in your last essay.

I am teetering on the edge of leaving the country. I don’t want to. I love my life here. Maybe I can be more useful outside the country so any protesting I do can’t be punished.

I don’t blame any one person for this failure. Well okay I do blame Garland. I think no one was prepared for a man as evil as 45. Our systems were overcome by the evil coming at us from so many different directions. From the media, to the DOJ, to Congress, hundreds of people failed to protect us. No one ever expected this country to be overrun by fascism. No one was prepared and even when they knew for sure what was happening they weren’t strong enough to take the necessary steps to stop it.

We have been conquered by fascism and we just have to get used to it. Like they have done in other fascist countries.

I honestly believe my safest course of action is to leave here and take my
money with me, little that there is. Else I will lose it all.

But I don’t want to leave. I am making the best of a terrifying situation.
