the Germans. I always thought I would, and now, I'm thinking about how that might manifest.

What if I give Muslims or immigrants or gay friends sanctuary? Will I go to jail? Is it worth it? Would I get beaten? Is that worth it? I know I don't want my children, all in their 20s, to stick their necks out, but they are young. I'm 55. Who would I be willing to allow to go to jail or camps and be silent?

Trump has told us what he plans to do. Most of us are still poo-pooing it. I think we need to start taking him seriously. Watching "The Man from High Castle" has me thinking quite a bit, too, at how some people cower and some will fight for others.
