No Kings Day Everyday

No Kings Day Everyday The fear I felt last November Has Swollen Like a Hindenberg blimp directly Overhead Seconds from exploding Time and space back to 1775. How Now sent troops’ marching feet Bear a din, underscoring beat, Compelling Alarm Urgently To ask, to answer the question: How might we align our democracy against any autocratic insurrection? ——————————— God bless us everyone

As a Canadian, I am concerned for your country and the world. The President says he has all the cards, unfortunately he lacks the intelligence to play them properly. I pray that God removes the cards from his hands and that Congress has the courage to stand up to him.
