Trump inspires ‘fear, much anxiety’

Regarding Mike DeLuca’s Nov. 14 letter: Yes, there is a legitimate traumatic response to the election of Donald Trump.

This is a man whose campaign was defined by racism, sexism, authoritarianism, anti-immigrant remarks. We must be vigilant in watching his presidency. We cannot “normalize” Trump.

Yes, we will move on but with fear and much anxiety.
