After the firing of Comey, this is the letter I’m about to send to friends and family on Facebook.
I am sorry for what may look like I’m spamming news all the time on Trump-Russia, but at the same time, I’m not sorry.
America was the victim of a successful Russian attack on our democracy. Knowing this, I am simply unable to let America get attacked in this way and do nothing about it.
At the time of Trump’s election back in November, I was shocked because there was already a large amount of strong circumstantial evidence, and a small amount of direct evidence, of Trump’s collusion with Russia to win the election. I was so shocked on November 8th that I literally did not sleep and went to work the next day with zero sleep. I thought enough people would have seen the same information that I saw and reach the same conclusions, so I didn’t do as much as I could have done to stop Trump from getting elected.
I feel guilty that I didn’t do more before November 8th to stop this disaster from happening. I let my country down when action was needed. I didn’t want to bother friends and family with contentious political discussions (my first political post on FB was November 10th) to try persuading people to not vote for Trump.
I don’t like Hillary Clinton much (I have many problems with her), but she should have been the clear choice because in several critical traits for a president she was the direct opposite of Trump: sane, experienced, knowledgeable, intellectually curious, and not compromised by our adversary, Russia.
I could have done a lot more than cast a vote. Now America is in more than a mess, it’s a crisis. I don’t know what the best actions are in this situation, but I do know that lots of people need to do lots of actions if we’re going to get out of this crisis. That is why I’ve been “spamming” news on Trump-Russia, calling my members of Congress and going to protests. I am compelled now to do what I can, and I have to keep at it until the crisis is past.
