I am on twitter. I see the "President" lashing out. He is in a powerful position, and I want to say things to him, that others do, but afraid I will end up with my name on a list of travel bans or have the FBI knocking on my door. Yeah it feels like we are under fascism.
No, I have seen no proof of people disappearing, or Firing Squads.. But who wants the Secret Service knocking on your door?
I didn't feel this way about President Obama, but I liked what he did generally. I never wanted to send a tweet nor fear it would show up on the front page of the NY Times, like Trump does...
Yeah he can say whatever he wanted on Twitter, and no one can stop him. But I am afraid to reply. I am a person of color, and have no real power in this country, unless I became a public servant. (Is there such things any more, or are there just rulers?)
This is a whole new Country, we have entered into. It doesn't feel safe anymore, and if I have lost my freedom of speech, what does that make us? I seriously want to speak out, but can't and won't. I guess the only thing we can do, is work underground to protest in a way that won't eventually get us killed.
