Olivia, this is the most poignant and powerful warning about the looming catastrophe America and the world faces if shared Trump psychotic contagion prevails in this election not only that I have yet read but even inchoately imagined someone writing. It was like the most emotion-churning symphony -- one that starts softly and builds to a volcanic and cathartic crescendo of enlightened, exhaustive and palpable truth. At the end, tears were cascading down my face. Thank you deeply for your special apercu yielded by your lived experience. This piece must be disseminated widely with utmost urgency.
Sometimes fiction is the best means of reaching a deeper truth. It's dystopian fiction now, but it may not be fiction in the near future.
Many of the scenarios you have depicted are very close to what I have imagined myself if Trump is reelected. I hope this gets as wide an audience as possible--your message is powerful and needs to be heard.
Olivia- I'm a fellow U of P grad, way before you. I have three kids and seven grandchildren to be concerned about. This is scary stuff. I will never understand so many people falling for this con man.
Take this seriously - this future is within the realm of possibility. Should Harris loose, it will be chaos and much pain to get back on the right track - with no assurance that can be accomplished. Even if Harris prevails it will be difficult enough. Olivia, thank you for speaking up. If it's any comfort many feel your pain and anguish. On a more optimistic note, James Carville predicts a Harris win. Let's hope he's right. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/23/opinion/kamala-harris-win-election.html?searchResultPosition=1
Olivia, this is brilliantly framed, and I hope it will be shared widely. It’s a possible, scarier scenario than most have really thought about. Voting for Harris is our only chance to save us.
Thank you so much for everything you’ve done and continue to do. This is such an important and powerful piece of writing.
Right before I went to bed last night (Thursday 10-24-24), I saw that the Wall Street Journal was publishing a story in the morning that Elon Musk was (is?) in regular communicaiton with Vladmir Putin.
And then it all made sense. Trump and Russia. Trump and Putin. Putin and Elon. Trump and Elon. 2022. Elon buyingTwitter. Trump announcing he was running again. 2022. Ukraine. Connections.
I was shaking when I finally went to bed. This was the “October surprise”
It would so shock the country that Trump would be forced out of the race. Harris would be called back to Washington for urgent, high-level meetings about the impact on the campaign; who should tell the American people? How quickly would Musk’s security clearance be revoked; his contracts cancelled? What about the people who early-voted but now wanted to change their votes?!? Surely, no one could vote for Trump now!
But in the morning, I had trouble finding the story. I finally found Jonathan Lemire interviewing someone who said “This would have been all we talked about - - ten years ago. Now? It’s one of a hundred stories that will come out today.”
Can you afford to publish this as an ad in WaPo, NYT etc? Like PsychoPac24 just did in the NYT with their letter from hundreds of mental health professionals warning about the psychopath malignant narcissist?

Hello Olivia,
Thank you. !
Your letter from the future needs to be published in all reliable (?...) major newspapers asap.
Although I am not 'on' social media, inquiring -- for our moment, would you consider reading it as an audio for podcast ?
Very much appreciate your advocacy, bravery, candor during these many months. Julia / Chicago

Well done, Olivia! This needs to be circulated far and wide.

Thank you for your letter.
Thank you Olivia for writing this! It is so important for all of the country to read things like this.
Been hoping someone would take this point of view and write it. This needs to be shared everywhere!
Olivia, how could the election be tied? Knowing the facts, it seems to me to be a no brainer!
All Americans have to do is watch "the Handmaids Tale". We are headed to Gilead.
😆🤣😂
