maybe the correct word is "feared" we would see it - because we saw the failure of the MSM leading up to the election.

Today I was doing errands and caught several NPR shows (The 1A, The World, and Here and Now). The word "norm" popped up alarmingly often.

I had lunch with my two good friends today (as we've been doing Wednesdays for 18 years now) - our first discussion point was how we all shared our disbelief at where the country - the world! - is. So many things going amiss....none of us could see our way through to how trump will be realistically stopped in this. We are witnessing the birth of fascism in the US. It is inconceivable that this is happening.
