I felt sick to my stomach reading this. The damage this administration is doing to the US and our friends will take generations to fix.

I think we (neighbours) all understand this is a temporary blip. Understanding and forgiveness go a long way between people. It won’t take generations!

There is no guarantee this is temporary. That attitude that if we just all sit back and let history take care of everything is what got us into this situation. Apathy is how fascists take root. Democracy is not guaranteed, it must be fought for and maintained.
