There was a time when the leaders of the western world understood their power was not a mandate but a responsibility. War was close in the review mirror and the lure of fascism was proven to have horrible consequences. Today, as we have just declared a ceasefire that stops the most visible and abhorrent genocide since the Holocaust, we are welcoming a fascist President into a seat that commands the largest superpower the world has known. As well all know, giving this man this power right now will only lead to a worse situation before it will get better.

It is a frightening time to be alive without any Hope.
