Donald Drumpf is a fundamentally bad man with authoritarian tendencies... Members of his cabal are like minded or opportunists. There are a scant few , like General Mattis, who seem like decent men who will try to curb Drumpf's , Flynn's, and Bannon's most misanthropic tendencies. The fact we have to pin our hopes on a general who earned the moniker "Mad Dog" illustrates our predicament. But as Al Gore once said "we have to pick up the basketball where we find it."

That is where we are. But it is up to us to lead the nation to where it should be; inclusive, proud, and forward looking. All this "woe is me" and the "sky is falling " talk does nothing to improve our condition. There is no point to scaring posters with talks of pogroms and mass internments. There aren't going to be pogroms and mass internments because we won't let them and even the fascist junta in Washington is not that crazy.

"The arc of history is long but it bends toward justice." Let's go forward in the knowledge history is on our side.
