I too am more hopeful than I've been in months that the Trump era is coming to an end. But as a Canadian I have to say until the day Trump and MAGA GOP are gone for good and replaced by a reasonable president and government.. until the day unfair tariffs are removed.. until the day apologies are made to all the countries Donald Trump and his henchman threatened to take over, there will be no change in how we feel about the U.S. or Americans. It's going to take time. Lots of time. I doubt anyone will ever forget either, or allow ourselves to fully trust American presidents, American government or trade deals with them. I feel as a Canadians we're in Trump's crosshairs as much as Greenland is. We will not forget that ever!
Persuade those Americans that never vote to vote. That would be a good start.
Sharon thank you neighbor! NOT all Americans agree w/ this idiot. I oray people r smart enough come NOVEMBER 2 vote OUT all of maga. We have 2 get rid of the entire cabinet or it will continue.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful! The possibility, however slim, of the leader of an important, wealthy country, who has commissioned crimes of aggression against comparatively powerless nations and individuals, being arrested in a foreign country and held for trial at the International Criminal Court. I do believe that the vast majority of the world’s populations would rejoice and have their hopes for a peaceful, considerate world rejuvenated.

Thank you for you voice Eric. Our essence, our dignity, our capacity to love through kind acts and resistance to cruelty can never be taken from us, ever. I appreciate you my friend.
According to MSNBC news there are over 3,000 ICE government terrorists in Minneapolis That's more people than the city of Minneapolis and the 10 largest districts in the state of Minnesota have working as police officers.
The number of government ICE terrorists in Minneapolis Minnesota equates to a true invasion force.
And now they are keeping the murder of Jonathan Ross hidden under doubling down saying he did his job.
It's time to bring it in to the tRUMP administrations Authoritarian Nationalist Autocrat Openly Corrupt attack on everything that makes America America Well we still have an America.
We love you too Erik. You are a consistent voice of all that is good and hopeful. I’ll continue the fight and temper my despair in no small part thanks to your posts. I am beyond grateful to have found you here. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Erik - so true and so well written. People are taking encouragement from others around them and refusing to be intimidated. In the end, it will be everyday people who save what this country stands for.
Hi Erik and thanks. You are right, Americans are standing up for what is right - it is so obvious. - that difference between good and bad. From Minnesota to California to Texas - people are out in the cold, they are marching, they are protesting, and they are showing the world that America is not lost to a psychopath - a man with no morales whose one and only best friend operated an underage prostitution ring. He is the same man who the Court labeled a "sexual predator," and another court convicted him of 34 felony charges in his attempt to cover up his relationship with an adult film star, and yet another convicted him of sexually attacking a woman in a store's dressing room. It is all about misplaced power - a pathetic criminalality and aggression toward women and girls. He is a FRAUD - and another court proved this beyond a shadow of doubt.
Mr. Trump may find himself in the middle of a similar opposition when he visits the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland this week. One of the lead speakers is Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase - someone who Trump is suing. Other attendees will be the leaders of European countries who are now sending military troops to Greenland to protect this country against our raging, narcissistic leader's misplaced aggression.
Switxzerland is a member country of the International Criminal Court - which means they could issue an arrest warrant and Switzerland could enforce it. Trump has commited a "genocide" in Africa as well as 'crimes against humanity'. In Venezuela he has committed a "crime of aggression" with his bombing of boats in the Caribbean, killing over 100 individuals, invasion of a sovereign nation, and kidnapping their President.
If nothing else, the combined opposition to Mr. Trump at Davos may be a turning point where he recognizes the global resistance to his policies and his aggressive behavior. Let's hope.
Good job Eric!

I'm hoping you will do just that, get rid of the entire MAGA come Nov. 2nd.
YYYYYAAAAASSSSS!!!!!
Loud and clear Sharon. I am so embarrassed by my country. I wish so much that people would have been aware.
I needed to read this. Thank you so much, Liberaldad, for the reminder of how strong and kind 'we' really are.
Thank you for this hopeful and uplifting post. 😊
My sentiment exactly 💯
That’s their biggest concern!!!!!.
Well said, Liberaldad
Thanks brother

That would be something wouldn't it?

These beliefs are what will save us.
Not only save us Eric, but with integrity, which will be tested, these values guide us. Truth is a strong foe to hate.
Absolutely

What a fantastic way to start my Monday/week! Thanks again Erik! And happy MLK Day!
Thanks! You too!
