I don't know, I'm a little more hopeful than all that. Don't get me wrong, I can't believe the current state of affairs. I still can't believe that Donald F. Trump was the President of the United States. It's like a cartoon version of reality. I can't believe a huge segment of our population thinks what they think, but they do. I can see the backslide and where that leads. It's terrifying to think of the U.S. and all of it's military (and nuclear) power in the hands of true fascists with evil intent. I'd have to go underground, hide my beliefs, train my children not to reveal that they are not "with" those in power, but to pretend they are. It's a horrifying version of the future.
I also see things in the context of a longer period of time. This whole movement may become a footnote in history. Cooler heads and more reasonable minds will prevail. We will course correct because we have to; because it's the right way forward. Spewing hate and violence toward anyone who is different or who we disagree with is not sustainable long-term. A brutal, totalitarian regime - who wants that, really?
