All across America, families are now afraid for their future and their safety. A man with only hate in his heart, who openly threatens the freedom and lives of the American people, has been declared the "winner" of an election despite being rejected by the American people.

He has done so through a foreign tyrant's invasions of his opponent's computer networks that he solicited, legions of paid internet trolls falsifying and censoring American social media from Russia, and the criminal acts of putschists within the government intervening in the election to spread lies and propaganda.

Hate groups are celebrating all across the country today. The Ku Klux Klan, Neo-Nazis, and others of their kind have never seen such a victory for hate in their lifetimes, but a few of the oldest people around the world have: Those who were around to witness events in 1933 Germany. Those aged and dwindling few with numbers tattooed on their arms, they remember.

Every person wonders at some point what they would do if they were a German in 1933. Well, now we find out. The comparisons of Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler were not exaggerations in service to a campaign, they are simply facts delivered in the clear light of history. What follows, if we take no responsibility for events, will be unsurprising.

Let me repeat that the American people rejected him. We have given no consent for Donald Trump to hold power over this country, and we do not give it.

A republic founded on the principles of reason and liberty will not go quietly into the night of tyranny, hate, and madness. The nation that expanded the reach of humankind to the Moon and touched the face of the cosmos will not fall, nor be turned into its opposite.

We reject this result, because the American people have rejected Donald Trump.

America rejected Donald Trump

Be with your families today and reflect on all that we have, because generations sacrificed that we could. They fought on foreign beaches against men indistinguishable from Donald Trump and his Legion of Hate, and indistinguishable from the vile tyrant whose invasions of our sovereignty he has leveraged into this farcical outcome.

Today we give thanks for what we have. Tomorrow we discuss how to keep it, and by God or whatever else there is, we will keep it.
