I have a friend whose parents came from Germany. She told me about how hated Germans had been because people assumed they supported Hitler. Her parents did not support Hitler but they were also not part of any organized opposition so they were unable to defend themselves from such attacks.
Years from now, people will look and ask, not whether you were a Democrat, but whether you stood up and said no when Bush was sworn in. At that time you can lie and say you took action to oppose Bush or you can tell the truth and tell how your really did stand up to him on Inauguration day or you can be hated along with the others who stayed home and tacitly supported the fascist dictator.
I don't know how long it will be before there will be no more protests in America, before all dissidents will be in death camps. But I do know that it will be sooner if we do not all stand up on January 20th.
