is very, very different. It continues to shake me to my core on almost a daily basis. It struck me the other day that when I was talking to my daughter, I would gladly take 4 more years of George W. Bush over Trump. Bush, who got us into Iraq and cratered our economy, is significantly less dangerous than Trump who is undermining the fabric of our democracy and core essence,cultivating an authoritarian style of governing and cozying up to Putin. He's threating the world order and frankly everything that is decent. He is dangerous and it requires a constant recognition and reminder that we're not dealing with normal here.
