I fear for those who are marching today. The Orange Monster may have given orders to fire upon them. And yes, I know, police and the military probably won't open fire on demonstrators. But then again, remember Kent State.
No matter where I switch the TV, HE is always there. This morning, I caught a piece of him at the National Cathedral, sitting in the first row with his arms crossed. Did he think they were all there to worship him? Unfortunately, I actually believe that's what he was thinking.

I didn't watch anything yesterday, but the "Hang Her," "Jail Her," chants, about Hillary that I read about later, and the despicable boos against Chuck Schumer's remarks, are all the proof we need of how deep the sewer is in which America is currently drowning in a sea of divisiveness driven by this Trump creature.
I'm a devout agnostic. But I have come to believe in whatever it is we call "evil." And I believe that right now, a dark cloud of evil has descended upon us. And I wish I was certain that we will survive it.
Nonetheless, I also believe that we/America, will not go down without a fight. But the near future could become very ugly.
I also believe that "The arc of history bends towards justice." And I therefore believe that these miserable people who are trying to destroy us, will end up on the scrap heap of history. Many of us may not be around to see it. But it will come to be.

Nonetheless, we cannot let him be an unopposed "Emperor." And yes, he really believes he has been appointed "Emperor."
