If you're not paranoid, you're not paying attention.

I thought hard about moving to another country when this mess started, but its really not feasible for us. At some ironic point, other countries will stop accepting overwhelming numbers of American refugees. Besides, it really doesn't sit well with me to be run out of my own country.

So, what do we do? Yes, we vote the bastards out--if we're allowed to vote. The protests are good, but they're not enough. trump's behavior just keeps getting worse, and he seems pretty intent on dumping the Constitution. I see the ICE capades becoming more dangerous for everybody. Remember the Home Guard during the Civil War? Congress and the Judiciary are quickly becoming inconsequential.

One way or another, this can't continue. Hard to believe one small-minded little man could bring down this country. We need new tactics. We cannot lose this fight.
