    I’m happy to take several steps back if that’s what it takes to take a step forward

    I don’t think this woman truly understands what it would mean to go back several steps. Or she just thinks those steps back won’t affect her in any way. Wish I could be that oblivious to the world around me.

      I imagine watching your extended family suffer under an artificial famine while dodging bombs and shells raises your tolerance for discomfort while punishing those responsible.

        WATCHING being the key word there. She’s not living through it. This is happening half a world away and she’s willing to make this even worse? Does she think Trump’s new travel ban (which he’s gone on record as saying will be brought back) will have an exception for her family? Does she think Trump will suddenly say “Actually I was joking when I said ‘finish the job’”?
