It feels so strange to be going to the grocery store, doing laundry... when on Friday [View all]

There is a very good chance that the country I love, what was once (and could be again, if only...) the greatest country in the world, could literally become a dictatorship. With the whole world watching.

It feels unreal. It is unreal.

I have no confidence that the November election will be free and fair, especially if McConnell succeeds and there are no witnesses. Why should it be? Russia’s hacking will be welcomed overtly by Trump and the entire GOP, with no consequences. They have no conscience, no patriotism, no honor.

I would never have believed America could go from a beacon to a tinpot dictatorship. On Friday it could do just that.

I’d love some encouraging words.
