1/ Having come this close to losing our democracy, millions of more people now realize how important it is that we have one - however imperfect and bedraggled it is.

Marianne what is going on right now in the city I live in is an authoritarian takeover of our country. Massive militarization to lock the people out - it is very sad, but I have personally seen this before - in Tiananmen Sq. The tactics in DC right now remind me of North Korea

Give me a break. I live in DC too. After what happened at the Capitol on January 6 they have no choice but to guard the city against violence on Inauguration day. It would be irresponsible of them not to.

Yes because those armed marauders put everyone in the city in danger. It was so scary. You should’ve moved to Portland where it’s completely safe.

“Guard????” This is not how a free society guards its capital. We are locking our citizens out and replacing them with flags and soldiers. No free society in history has done that - but it is routine in authoritarian societies. I’ve seen it. Wake up Marianne.

I’m on the fence about how you can be so delusional...

I used to think you were open-minded. I loved your books and I actually thought about voting for you but the blinders you are wearing show me you are not the woman I thought you were.

Now I completely understand why you Jews are so much hated! You truly are a sick, psychotic piece of human detritus!! Just a nasty old failed POTUS candidate and police state thug.
