Donald Trump Hijacked My Holidays
- Since my earliest memories, this time of year has always inspired the warm fuzzies in me. Not so this year. My feelings of joy have been subsumed by contravening feelings of fear, anxiety, and despair. Last week, First Lady Michelle Obama gave voice to what I was having trouble putting into words: "We are feeling what not having hope feels like," she told Oprah Winfrey on CBS This Morning. The remarks were so simple and straight-forward, and yet they resonated with me so profoundly.
