We identified the enemy after Sept. 11, 2001. We knew its leader, its follower& its ideology.

Donald J. Trump took over where Osama bin Laden failed.

How? Trump successfully attacked our nation's capital by inciting an insurrection. He is still trying...

Trumpism is based on bigotry, racism, xenophobia and white supremacy. America's original sin is the threat to white privilege and power. While 'not all bigots are Trump supporters' may be true but I had to really think about those I know b/c all Trump supporters are bigots. 2/2

These days after Jan 6, 2021 are a con't battle cry from a POTUS who sided w/ the Klan, NRA and dictators over American institutions. His treasonous rhetoric has resulted in a disease that may be worse than COVID-19. Trumpism is in the halls of congress & in our families, 3/3

Unite and mediate, they say. After WWII Germany had to acknowledge the evil wrong from Hitler and Nazism. Deprogramming the big lie takes time but it is not a shamanistic kumbaya. It requires truth as an antidote that must be administered over & over. 4/4

As a society we must condemn Trumpism and doing that requires being bold. Say to family and friends "What you believe was wrong. Who you aligned with is wrong for his affiliations, actions and loss of American life and democracy." Say it again and again and also, listen.
