But whether it’s that, or threatening sovereign allies, or starting a trade war with Colombia, or maliciously inflicting trauma on the federal workforce, or naming a health secretary nominee who believes Lyme disease is an engineered bioweapon and COVID-19 skips Jewish and Chinese people, or fear for your transgender friend who legitimately wonders what the follow-up to an executive order claiming they don’t exist might be, or any number of other things, it’s perfectly OK for you to draw the line right now.
