A screenshot of a post on X by user Suzie Rizzo (@SUZIERIZZO1 ). The post includes a text graphic with an orange background and black text that reads: "WHEN did America become a place where people take joy in suffering?

Above the graphic, Suzie Rizzo's comment reads: "Anyone want to answer this??? "

He’s unhinged. And we are unprotected.

This is fascism.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons
