No Justice No Peace - a photo on Flickriver

            Impressions from Saturdays's #BlackLivesMatter protest in Berlin.

I have been scared last week, ever since Trump violently cleared the protestors in Lafayette Park for his bible photo op. Back when Bush was President, I remember seeing blog posts about how he was going to fabricate some kind of emergency to postpone the election. And then when Obama was president you could find the same talk by right-wing Twitter accounts. I've always disregarded these as conspiracy narratives because the regular transfer of power is such a strong norm in US politics.

But Trump is different. He is totally unconstrained by norms. Today, mainstream media articles ask what Trump will do if (hopefully!) he loses the election in November. What if the result is disputed like it was in 2000? Trump will not hesitate to stir up violence to get his way. His actions this week have shown that. And there are enough people in America who will follow him no matter what.

So, since last Monday I've been feeling pretty anxious. There isn't a whole lot I can do from Berlin which makes things worse. I went to the protest in Berlin to show my solidarity with everybody who's on the street right now in America. There were so many people which I did not expect and which made me quite happy.
