WESTMINSTER — The election of Donald Trump and the right-wing majority frightens me.
I fear a repressive government disinclined to perform the primary mandate of its sovereignty: to protect from harm those who live under its authority.
I fear a government of ideologues whose inclination, which they make no attempt to hide, is to act in opposition to the interests of the majority.
I fear a cruel government whose actions will benefit its true constituents: the social Darwinists and the 1 percent.
They will have access to all the rights and privileges money can buy, while those of us who did not follow the money will “twist slowly, slowly in the wind.”
