Chernobyl on the Potomac

We are living in interesting times. I liken them to the first few
minutes of the TV mini-series “Chernobyl”. Today, the core of our
Democracy is exploding, not a reactor core. But the consequences may
be as tragic.

Just as the first moments of Chernobyl were marked by a complete lack
of understanding of what was occurring, so today we have a cabal of
Republicans protecting an authoritarian president bent first on
destroying Constitutional government, then implementing the one-man
rule we founded this nation to prevent.

Just as Hitler began with exterminating disabled people, then waited
to see who would protest, and finding none began the Holocaust, so
today does Mr. Trump turn the Justice Department into an instrument of
vengeance against “traitors” who pursued malign interferers in our
election process.

The time to rise up and protest is now, not when the
GeheimStatsPolizei arrive at your door.
