There have been quite a few of us warning of the destructive capability of GOP with Trump for quite a long time. When the people who lived through 1930s Germany started speaking out about the similarities with present-day U.S., it was high time to be scared for the survival of the nation.

The blue tsunami gave us hope and a chance, but not victory. We have children in cages, our military used as political props and even possibly being shuffled around by orders from a foreign power, policies that divide and isolate nations long allies, and a party that is willing to defy democracy to retain power.

None of the outrageousness will be written in future history books if they are written by Emperor Putin's descendants.
