This Veterans Day, let’s remember the generals who took a stand and tried to warn us of the existential threat Donald Trump posed to America.
RETWEET to thank Generals Jim Mattis, John Kelly, Mark Milley, and Stanley McChrystal for standing up for democracy!
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.
All of the tragic stories from people having to deal with a lot of text messages about an election which could see American Democracy literally devolve into fascism are so poignant and unfair that I pray these brave folks stay strong, delete and find that sweet relief they seek❤️
Dear President Bush:
I voted for you twice, and met your wonderful parents. I think highly of you and the First Lady. My family stood in misty cold rain in Austin at the Capitol from 7PM - 5AM election night 2000.
Please strongly condemn Trump now.
