    I contend that there isn’t anyone who doesn’t already know this/see this.

    I take your point, but just today at work I had someone tell me how their family had fled to come to the US due to political violence in the past. I kinda vaguely was like “yeah, it’s pretty scary to think about how similar things are looking right now” and his response was, “I’m just counting on the idea that politicians don’t do what they say.”

    Well, we were already deeper into politics than I like to get at work, but I wanted to scream HE’S ALREADY DOING IT! (AND IT WAS ALREADY DONE BEFORE TO YOUR FAMILY!)

    I just nodded and smiled as I walked away.
