Yesterday, George and I joined a huge number of people protesting Donald Trump here in New York at the Trump tower where he lives.
He, of course, was in DC at the time where there was also massive protest, but since we could not go there, we were very glad for such a big protest here. Last Sunday we had been with just a handful of people in Central Park close to Trump’s residence, so I was very happy to see a big turnout yesterday.
There were a number of well known figures, the mayor of New York and Michael Moore among them, who gave speeches. I was really glad that the crowd was so large, even though we were too far from the podium to hear the speeches at all well. It was just glorious to have so many people out and protesting noisily.
I never thought to see a fascist government in the United States. I was always censorious of the German people for allowing Hitler to come to power. Experts on fascism talk about the ways Trump resembles the German fascists and ways he is different, but the analogy is unfortunately evident. I must do what I can to stop Trump from doing here what Hitler did there and to get him out of office peacefully and legally. Certainly showing up with thousands of other citizens to express disapproval and demand change is a good start.
