Certain Things May Be Gone Forever

So many things in the U.S. are up in the air at this point.  If Trump gets his way, there will be no limits on his power, and this country will be an authoritarian state like Russia and China.  Obviously, there are many millions of political activists who are working hard to ensure this doesn’t happen, but there are no guarantees.

Americans caught their first glimpse of this 50 years ago when Nixon said, “If the president does something, that means that it’s not illegal.”   We withstood that challenge, but what’s happening here represents a far greater threat to the core of our democratic republic.

Let’s hope we don’t find ourselves in the position of the little boy in the illustration.
