Undertand the sentiments, but we have had almost three years of moments when the response was: "THIS is the breaking point."

A candidate you once worked for tried to lift up this country at a moment of tumult. He talked about a better politics and and he imagined things that never were but could be. Trumpism and idealism are at war. Hopelessness and cynicism are the handmaidens of trumpism.

I loathed George HW Bush but after 9/11 he visited a mosque. That set a tone of respect & humility as well as honor that truly lifted the country. Now it’s a dumpster fire every single day.

Each day, each hour of the Trump demagoguery is a challenge. But it helps to hear your forceful denunciations of this absurd man who follows in the footsteps of presidents like FDR, Lincoln and Washington.

At some point we have to realize that Trump reflects the sentiment of a large segment of our population, the one that has been marginalized by technology; that is the abyss we are staring into. Remember that even when Germany was smoldering in the ashes of utter destruction
