For the past two years I find myself playing our wartime scenarios and asking, “will my family be safer where we are in America or abroad where we plan to be?”
Our travel plans were to take place around the election— now I fear travel bans may come.
It never ceases to amaze me that someone with as many "daddies" as Trump has SO MANY daddy issues:
Fred Trump
Roy Cohen
Vladimir Putin
And the "safest" of the bunch was arrested at a KKK rally in a Klan robe!
And with only one "daddy" left (Putin), Trump seems to be spending every ounce of energy to please him by emulating him as closely as (in)humanly possible, in order to obtain approval that is a joke to the entire (non-MAGA) world, and is as clear as Canadian air to us all.
After all, Trump is inflating hostility toward the US all over the world..at the same time America has never been militarily or strategically weaker. (TONGA could almost take us down at this point, much less RUSSIA, with only Hegseth standing in their way. Hardly seems like an accident.)
Dear Lori, you are so erudite and perceptive.
This post mirrors my intuitive fears.

This is all terrifying yet also validation for what I’ve seen as an intuitive.
As always, thank you. I look forward to your new essays.
I know we all crave understanding of the insane, cruel monster that is MAGA.
Yesterday I came to an understanding...I fear.
"MAGA hates the things they hate, more than they love the things they love."
This explains so much...
Covid taking Americans mostly in red states...to "own" the hated libs, and science.
Banning books (and the Department of Education) because they hate libs, and their "learning".
Hating abortion (and many issues of women's bodily autonomy) because they hate women...even by the MAGA who ARE women.
A willingness to pay higher prices and even deprive their own children of nutrition, because they hate immigrants, even those doing it "right".
The list is pretty endless at this point...
