And they have a complicit media at their disposal, normalizing this instead of calling it out.

I thought living through George W. Bush's presidency and the things that began happening in this country in the aftermath of 9-11 was scary. This is a hundred times worse. I have very dark moments where I think he might win and it makes me sick to my stomach.

I'm doing what I can to GOTV locally. I can't stand by and do nothing.
