when referring to a country's government. And, as jarring as it might be, believe me, our country's reputation is in the dumpster. I've traveled a bit, and believe me, the world doesn't see us, the way we see ourselves. But, that is a conversation for another time.

If we're going to criticize people with influence who are on our side, then we have little hope of escaping the fascist fever dream Trump envisions.
