I think that TODAY, our situation is even worse. Trump is a real live authoritarian, living his very large and corrupt life in full view of everyone, and is getting away with it, enriching his family with billions of corrupt dollars from every source he can think of, while stripping Americans of rights and privileges that would be unconscionable even in 1968. I am not very hopeful right now... :(
I have been inside the Book Depository Building in Dallas. I looked out that window for a very long time. It was a gut wrenching experience. So painfully obvious that the conspiracy theorists were grounded in reality. I lost all innocence that day. And I lost so much more. So when you write about the many tragedies that followed, I don't look away from your words.
Great people are always a threat. And there will always be 'smaller' people who try to extinguish that threat. It's one of the organizing stories of our so-called civilization. We have always lived in tragic times.
