scared....now, I'm numb, because there is literally nothing I can do to change any of it and too many in Congress don't seem to even recognize that things have changed and "polite disagreement" isn't even a thing anymore.

They are acting as if this is a normal administration and it is not, in any way.

They appease him...it didn't work for Hitler, it won't work for this orange man either.

Or any of the thugs in the republican party.

We're on a road to destruction and few in the ruling class seem to care or see it.
