Remember when Mitt Romney said Donald Trump will change America with 'trickle-down racism'?

And now Trump is meeting with Mitt Romney this weekend to discuss governing and possible Cabinet post. The normalization of Trump steams ahead. All of my life I wondered how it was possible for a man like Adolph Hitler to rise to power. It felt impossible. But watching how people in this country just refusing to acknowledge what is going on around them, I now understand. Silence is agreement. Non-action is acquiescence.

It does seem like many ignored Trump's words and empty promises. So many of our "leaders" have shown a lack of a backbone and principles of what makes this country great. I agree this is surprising to watch history repeat itself.

I agree, staying silent is a sin of omission. Tacit approval of their actions.

Keep speaking up and making this country great!

Trump supporters are indifferent to racism. They traded their consciences for the promise of easy solutions that are never coming.

Thank you.
