I think it's time to start talking about Hitler

[dgibby]

50. I was born in '45,

last year of the Greatest Generation. I cut my teeth on the stories my dad, brother, cousins, and uncles told about their service, watched film shorts about the war during Sat. matinees at the local theater, and listened as my mother and her friends told about their fears, war time rationing, blackouts, air raid drills, etc. In fact, my parents met at the local USO!

The one thing that is burned into my memory forever is the film clips of Jews being rescued from the concentration camps, and I grew up asking myself how anyone could vote for/follow/admire Hitler. Unfortunately, I now know, as I'm seeing a large segment of the USA following those "Good Germans" down the rabbit hole. It makes my blood run cold!

Trump and his followers will not "go gently into that good night". They may go underground, much like the John Birchers did (only to emerge later as the modern day Tea Party), but emerge they will. In the meantime, they will leave death and destruction in their wake. I have never feared for this country like I do right now.

I have no doubt that there will be chaos after the election, no matter who wins. If, God forbid, Trump wins, it will give his rabid, hateful, angry followers the green light to wage war against anyone not them. If Hillary wins, they will not be able to contain their anger. Buckle up, we're in for a very rough ride!
