Sen. Susan Collins’ repudiation of Donald Trump may be the spike through the heart of Trump’s electability. This terrifies me, although many see it differently. As questionable as Trump is, I see Hillary Clinton as unquestionably worse and a serious danger to the future of our country.

This election like no other in recent history is vital to the survival of the America we have known and loved for so many years. Our borders are being overrun with invaders from all over, posing as refugees and emigrants, who are a threat to safety and health of Americans. We have a president who seems out of touch with reality, trying to disarm his citizens while opening our gates to the very element he should be protecting us from.

There is a photo of me when I was just a little girl; circa 1960 or so. Every once in a while, I go over the photo and the memories entwined. It was taken in my aunt’s kitchen and the background alone speaks volumes as to the era. There is an old stand mixer on the countertop behind me, as well as an electric radio, and a very sassy pair of curtains at the window over the sink. The cabinet and sink hardware is shiny and simple; plain and symbolic of the quieter, less stressful days of my youth.
