America could wake up on Wednesday with all three branches of our government — the — Executive, Legislative, and Judicial — Trumpist.
With this clip, take five minutes to ponder Germany’s memorials and the price that nation paid for being bamboozled by a bombastic autocrat. Listen to the heartfelt message of my German tour guides, for whom these memorials are like ghosts of mistakes made and evils allowed… ghosts that haunt their society still. These are the same guides who clink glasses in the beer halls and yodel from the hilltops with our American tour members. They admire America. They love America. And they are worried for America.
If we vote for fascism, it’ll likely be won by one or two percent (or even less)…and perhaps just a few stadiums of people will tip the balance. And history has taught my European friends that the cost of a course correction is infinitely more heartbreaking after a wannabe dictator wins an election than before. We are all participants, we are all responsible, and we will all bear the consequences of our collective choice.
@CindyBegel I have been a fan of yours since you spoke to our Entertainment Business School with @ThisisKaia. Your support of newbies and the tips on networking are priceless!
@BarryJenkins Looking forward to this. I felt the same way about “A Lesson Before Dying” in 1999. Couldn’t stop thinking about it, the writing and performances.
Friends in DC, go see this incredible show that transports you back to 1960 with an incredible performance by @StevePasquale and cast @kencen until Sunday!!
