USA under presidency of a know-nothing, neo-fascist, racist, sexist, mobbed-up narcissist!!

[Peter Lemkin]

A majority of Americans hate Trump and fear him.

Sorry Peter. Americans are so poorly informed willfully or otherwise, there will be no resistance. Anger and hostility will be easily directed in any number of ways as distractions. I talked to a woman today selling blenders at a local Costco. I asked her who she voted for. She was embarrassed to admit Trump. But after all, we needed a change and the Clinton's were so corrupt.

The majority of US citizens are ill informed and subject to the propaganda, yes! However, social/political change has always been made by a few, with the others following later or just watching from the sidelines. A few made this step backwards and a relative few can make a positive change forward. I'm not going to just sit and watch my nation turn into a fascist police state without a fight. I have been engaged in that fight all of my life and now we are really in deep trouble and need to fight and work even harder/faster - or go down trying.

You come from good stock for fighting fascism. Wasn't Raphael Lemkin your uncle?

Yes, Raphael was my uncle, and a frequent visitor to my family home when I was growing up. He coined the term 'genocide', wrote the Genocide Convention at the U.N. and was a legal expert at Nuremberg. He lost over 50 members of his direct family to Nazi fascism. He spent his entire life during and after the War fighting the crime of genocide and fascism more generally. He died rather young as he didn't eat properly and never exercised - such was his obsession with righting the wrongs he perceived. When he died my father offered his own burial plot for Raphael [who died without any money and lots of bills/debt]. Raphael's papers and books sat for two decades under my train table in the basement. I read through all of it and have some of it still. The bulk of it is now in archives. However, my parents were also very politically and socially active....and had FBI files to prove it. My mother went on a women's Peace delegation to the USSR in the height of the Cold War. My father was a marshal in King's March on Washington and I went too. Our home was a staging area for many convoys of cars to D.C. demonstrations against the War in Vietnam and I could go on and on. My mother often did demonstrations on her own....going to local House member's offices and refusing to leave until they would stop their support of the Contras [or similar] until she was arrested. I often had to bail her out after my father died. Our home was a salon for political discussions and Raphael brought UN persons, so it was very international. Many of my parent's friends were also activists and/or Socialists. Many of them had been blacklisted during the McCarthy period. Before she dies, my mother was actively involved against the Contra war and related. She also was helping me in the JFK assassination. Such was my normal family milieu.
