This kinda sums up how I feel about Trump's Inauguration:

"The lamps are going out all over Europe, we shall not see them lit again in our life-time",
British Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey remarked to a friend on the eve of Britain's entry into the First World War. First published in Grey's memoirs in 1925, the statement earned wide attention as a correct perception of the First World War and its geopolitical and cultural consequences.

Americans are outraged that Traitor Trump and his criminal stooges have captured our government. As time goes by, you will see more and more protests in various forms. I hope it sparks a revival of American values that put people over money.

With Trump, the horror show begins - like Caligula/Commodus/Nero for Rome - but it will end.

we should end our participation in capitalism going forward. Some of us can do it right away and others can adjust, some of us were never in the game anyway so...

Money is their god, if we delegitimize it, we can advance in our return to democracy... which can function without capitalism.
