by Todd Hasak-Lowy

Mohandas K, Gandhi, leader of the Indian Independent Movement...active violence, not passive resistance..

Alice Paul

And all hell broke loose

Heto na naman ako, gumagamit ng idiom for an easy title. Suddenly, there was pandemonioum!

I was at work last night sitting  in an easier station where I didn't have to watch patients on intensive care breathe their last.  At 7:20 PM, my husband texted me about Hope Hicks, Donald Trumps aide and kind of a surrogate daughter being ill of Covid-19.  Hindi ako manghuhula but  I texted back my husband that Trump will be next.  I'm sure many saw it coming, too.

"Mask it or casket!" Y read from her phone. 

I know more Trump voters/supporters  or "Trumpsters" than non-Trumpsters who Helen calls "snowflakes".  At work, Y and K  who are quiet to moderate Trumpsters lamented about the falling stock market prices. 

I never had the heart to repeat every conspiracy theory I hear from right-wing media pundits pouring praises to the Dear Leader like a lot of people I know: A, B, C, D, up to Yvonne. I feel sorry for President Trump but I have always wish for unity, peace and active non-violence in this country that has become my home. Liberals like Rachel Maddow is saying it all for me, for now.
