The founding fathers, men of immense vision and selective blindness, drafted liberty into ink while slavery rattled its chains just beyond the parchment’s edge.
Thanks for the thoughtful post. Eloquently stated, as usual! In studying with historians like Ruth ben giaht and Timothy Snyder, The camps are more like gulag's and we are becoming Russia not Germany. I don't think we're going to have mass genocide here in the United States. Trump has already started talking about using the inmates to work farms etc, indentured servants. Whoever is building these facilities is making bank. They were preparing for this for a long time. Private prison industry is a good investment apparently. Rather than Germany Trump is turning us into Russia. Not looking forward to the economy! Or being snatched off the street during a protest. Rubber bullet anyone?

A brilliant and eloquent analysis of the events that have brought our nation to the edge of the abyss. This is going to end very badly.
Elegantly written. And all true. But we CANNOT say or think that this is how it ends.
We need to keep writing, keep speaking, keep resisting --whatever it takes to stop the madness and cruelty, and take our country back.
I feel you. Do what you can with love. Wait and see.
