I dunno

I feel like it isn't gonna be long before the rest of the world decides we are the villains and gangs up on us, hopefully before we annex Mexico and launch a ground invasion of Russia somehow.

It's cool to punch Nazis today, I feel like I have been pretty clear on that, in fifty years is it going to be just as cool to punch whatever the current regimes supporters end up being called? Goldshirts, Trumpists, Trumpstaffle? Will a new weapon have to be developed in deadly secret to be used against us to convince us to surrender?

In fifty years are me and my friends going to be able to tell stories about what it was like to live in a nascent fascist state in hopes of preventing, I don't know, Canada or something from going down that road again?
And will we see those stories ignored in favor of greed and hate?

Hope isn't all lost quite yet, the courts are still at least sort of upholding the law and checking power, the ACLU still exists and free speech hasn't been curtailed millions of people are making a fight of it and I can't yet bring myself to believe there are enough people so far gone that we can't prevent another repeat of history.

What must it be like in the White House these days? I'd give a lot to be a fly on the wall during conversations there, as work atmospheres go I can't imagine there is a more toxic one.

I guess I don't really have anything exciting to say, or even a coherent thesis, these last couple of days have been an incredibly mixed bag.
