“Alternative facts” (WTF????)
As a writer, I feel as if I should say something profound here. But what can I say? We are only one week into the Trump administration, and my country is already beginning to resemble the Soviet Union of Larissa’s childhood in Red Flags. This is not normal!
On a brighter note, there is a Resistance, an opposition. There are massive demonstrations. (I took part in Detroit’s Women’s March last weekend.) There are civil rights organizations. There are some brave journalists and a few brave politicians. We need more of them.
Because this is not normal!

I never would have imagined the U.S. in this state of hatred and fear!

I “liked” your comment because I feel the same way. I don’t “like” living in this state of hatred and fear. I just want to make myself clear.

No, it is far from normal – which is why we have to keep speaking out about it. Otherwise it will become normalized.
