To the editor:
On Inauguration Day in 2017, I wrote a letter to the editor that was published the next day in the Los Angeles Times.
In the letter, I recalled staying at a remote tent “resort” during President Obama’s inauguration in 2009, during which another guest from Denmark congratulated me and my country. In contrast, on Jan. 20, 2017, I felt afraid and anxious because of President Trump.
My fears when I wrote that letter were tremendous and my depression was quite serious. I could not, however, have imagined just how horrible this would turn out to be a year later. My greatest fears have been realized, as our status in the world has reached an all-time low and our democracy is in serious jeopardy.
I wish that I could write that I was wrong a year ago. Instead I fear for our country, our world and our precious children. We owed them so much better.
