22. One expects an extremist right-wing government

to dismantle protections against discrimination. This particular issue at least affects incredibly few people in very limited ways, and those are used to dealing with these problems and will continue to deal with them until the majority who are on their side can restore these legal rights.

I'm saving my "sick" for all the people who are going to be kidnapped away from their lives, imprisoned in holding camps, and then deported to strange countries they may never even have visited or barely remember. And other similar atrocity-level actions. Even one innocent person railroaded into prison by corrupt prosecutors served by corrupt investigators is far too many.

But above all I am sick about what it will do to our nation. I feel as if we should put the Statue of Liberty in storage until we are once again worthy to display her.
