Poignant. I’m a naturalized citizen myself and I’m worried in a way I never was before. I don’t want to end up in South Sudan. So far, I have been expressing myself as if there were no danger, at least because I think that if they ever come for me, they can find plenty of what they object to in what I’ve written years ago. My father tells me that I’m a fool and I mourn that we live in an America where he’s probably right. It turns out that they really do hate our freedom. Just not the “they” I expected.
