This brings to mind the evening in the 70s that PBS broadcast a documentary on the Holocaust that featured film never before released for public viewing. My son was just 10, and I sat with him while we watched, and comforted him with the promise that the world would never again let something like that happen. My promise, as you all know, was an empty one. At the time, though, I believed in lessons learned. My son is now 54, and he reminded me of that documentary a couple weeks ago, and he and I are both traumatized by our situation today. You know that phrase, all it takes for evil to prevail is for good people to do nothing.
I still believe in the goodness of people, but I’m a lot shakier today. Just today PBS ran a Rick Steves program on the cruelties of Fascism. Doesn’t anyone pay attention to the good people jumping up and down, waving their arms shouting “Trump is a danger to us ALL, even his loyal followers!”
Guess not. (Other than the blessed Bulwark, keep speaking out.)
