Facing the Gathering Darkness

As we face the new era in America, I want to urge everyone who understands the danger of Trumpism to make an effort to communicate with others about what Trump does and offer perspective on why and how it is bad or wrong. Do not let others think this is all "normal" or "just the way it is." If our worst fears are realized to even a small extent, this will be a new situation in America that will be very depressing and harmful for many people, not to mention the environment that we all depend on. Maybe there is no way , right now, to oppose or resist, but remember that the Trump movement depends on ignorance, misinformation, misplaced anger and blame. Anything you can do to offer a counter-narrative is worthwhile. It may not have any great effect right now or bear any immediate fruit, but think of the future--plant seeds, build awareness, advocate for humane values, and above all, support compassion for the suffering and concern for our shared environment. This is the foundation for a better tomorrow.
