This isn’t America any more. Far from it.

I get so angry when people, acquaintances, relatives, say to me “What are you so upset about? You take things too seriously. Nothing bad is going to happen to “us”. You need to stop watching the news.”

Well, it doesn’t have to happen to us in order to matter to us.
