Stephen Frye did a nature series a few years ago called "last chance to see" in which he expressed the notion that environmentalists are so dismayed and tired that they are ready to give up and accept the future. I'm starting to feel that way about US democracy. I used to work in the US (lawyer) but have returned to Canada. I feel like I am sitting on a hill watching Rome burn. Why bother trying to help when the Romans are setting fire to their own houses?

As much as Canada’s own legislation is shaped by US events, I hope you don’t sit on that hill long- you should be offline gathering metaphorical water buckets.

Or we wait until it is in rubble, until the Romans realize what they have done to themselves, and then document the destruction so that nobody forgets the mistakes. That's what I think Disney just did. That Trump robot will be terrorizing people for generations to come.
