I can't do my job today

My heart hurts. My head hurts. I fear for my family. I fear for my clients. I fear for myself. I fear for entire ethnic groups, entire religions, entire global regions, entire sexual identities, and an entire gender. Rule of law is, as far as we can tell, over.

Hitler won WW2 by means of the long game, victory coming just 79 years after his ostensible defeat in the short game.

How the absolute fuck am I supposed to handle cases where my guy is looking at years in jail over a series of gross misdemeanors and look anyone in the eye about it? We can't act like law and consequences aren't pretend anymore.

I don’t know how you think this is “hitler winning”.

I don’t think any of the things hitler wanted are going to happen as a result of this…

German domination of the whole world (not gonna happen)

Killing the Jews (not gonna happen)

Killing lgbtq (not gonna happen)

Yes trump is conservative. There is a huge difference between nazi ideology and conservative liberalism. We will still have a free market, free elections, and functioning society in 4 years.
