This is all dismal news even though we need to know it. All we have left is ourselves. As Timothy Snyder says, there is no going back. There is only us joining together and trying to overcome what we can. As far as I can see there are no real surprises here. Although I will say the sudden destruction of the entire East Wing in the blink of an eye made me catch my breath in horror and sadness. We have to find our way forward against all the odds. I’m not giving up although I see clearly where we are now. Thank you for what you do.
Thank you for reading and commenting. The destruction of the East Wing, albeit not the most significant thing Trump has destroyed in his 2nd term, provides a such a clear visual representation of his presidency that it is startling. Visuals matter. This is why dictators build monuments to themselves; they understand the impact of symbolism.
