Then, World War II was raging — a war between fascism and democracy.
At the time the film was made, democracy was by no means the sure winner.
Now we’re in the midst of a hot war in Ukraine and a cold war everywhere else between authoritarianism and democracy, fascism and democracy, white supremacism and democracy . . . and as Trump climbs in the polls with each new indictment or conviction, and those on his side are much more heavily armed than the rest of us and more inclined toward violence and economic suicide (this Trump versus that one) . . . it’s not certain democracy will prevail.
I’m pretty sure it will. It must. But not if we don’t do all we can to help.
Happy Mother’s Day!

Have a great week-end.
