It simply boggles the mind to imagine that enough ill-informed, disinformed, mis-informed, delusional, willfully ignorant, cruel and overtly racist people in America decided to trade in FDR's vision of economic security at home and the shared-with-Churchill Four Freedoms abroad after World War II for THIS.

Those of us in our sixth, seventh decades and more studied history -- we know what the world used to look like and be like. We never thought there would ever come a day when our own allies literally cannot stand the sight of us, when *Canada* would gird itself for god-knows-what or Denmark prepares for a Navy invasion of Greenland. A cabal of 19-year-old brats named 'Big Balls' and other charming epithets of ignorance and arrogance have access to the most private, personal data Americans have, while USAID, the Forest Service, the Consumer Protection Financial Bureau and Department of Education are dissolved illegally with the stroke of a tyrant's pen. A supine Republican Congress crawls on its belly, hoping for the dictator's tidbits or fearing his wrath.

Wake up, America. Once you overcame monstrous demons in Germany, Italy and France. Today, you bring them into the White House through the front door. The spirits of hundreds of thousands of US GIs who died at Normandy, liberating Dachau, Anzio, Iwo Jima, Guadalcanal and Pearl Harbor will not rest at peace until we rid ourselves of this fascist cult of stupid.

Stop asking where are the democrats and start blaming republicans. They can fix this. They don't.
