Ever know in your guts it was going to get this bad?

28. I remember taking a non-fiction writing course in NYC during the Bush II years and

in that class I wrote an essay called "Ambling Toward Fascism". The teacher and some others thought it was well written, but it got a lot of pushback from people who thought it was too extreme and that the US would never come close to becoming a fascist nation and the things that I predicted would never come true.

And I never even predicted half of what has come to pass during the Trump era, I simply believed that we would lose many of the rights we take for granted and that minorities and other oppressed groups would be demonized.

What is happening now is much worse than I have ever expected and if Trump gets another four years I foresee a hellish dictatorship of the likes we could have never imagined. It cannot happen.
