Nothing's changed

Watching Trump do his mean spirited victory laps before adoring true believers is chilling. Hearing GOP legislators gushing about plans to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, Medicare and Social Security is heartbreaking. Observing the grotesquely rich, the anti education, the Islamaphobes, the climate change deniers and the fossil fuel zealots prepare to join the administration is revolting.

Trump has shown no class, no humanity, no decency, no wisdom since his election. He revealed those characteristics after he won the nomination, after he entered the race, indeed, going back to his decades as a greedy, cruel, heartless, narcissist businessman and entertainer.

Trump is a fluke of a flawed electoral process, the power of charismatic fear and loathing, an irresponsible press using him for ratings and wealth, government law enforcement stoking crazed criminal conspiracy theories, a malleable, uninformed and irresponsible voting minority. We must not suffer any illusion this utterly flawed human can properly execute presidential powers. We must push back. We must organize. We must speak out. We must stay vigilant. We have no other choice. If not for ourselves, we must do this for our children, our grandchildren, our world. We've been warned.
