A friend told me his grandfather left Spain because of Franco & his grandmother left Italy because of Mussolini. They went to Argentina. His parents left Argentina because of Peron, went to Venezuela. He left Venezuela because of Chavez, came to the US. And now he's wondering where his kids go.

What we're facing isn't unique. What's unique is that it's happening in the richest country in the world, and one that has so much influence on the world. 😩

Can’t you see any difference between: Franco, Mussolini, Perón, and Chávez? Oh well, I understand now.
