We have descended down the deep hole of fascism. The guardrails have been stripped away and we are in grave danger of becoming an authoritarian state. Democracy will die down this hole. I am perplexed as to what 77 million Americans were expecting when they voted for this man. To make matters worse, he has brought in his sidekick, Elon Musk. An unelected man with a chainsaw to obliterate our government and our democracy. And this man with his chainsaw has fired thousands of government workers, men and women who daily keep the system going.

What will the American people do to stop this very serious and dangerous clown show? Will protests take down this criminal regime? I have to have hope that this moment in our history will soon pass from the scene. We must act, and act now or our 250-year experiment will be for naught.

My dad fought in World War II in Europe. He saw the worst of mankind in the camps he passed through. I cannot imagine nor do I want to think what he would say if he were here and witnessed the country he so bravely and courageously fought for. We need more than good thoughts and prayers. We need action and we need it now if the experiment is to survive.
