33. I have the same feeling but...

...we're going to experience some cruel, heinous tragedies before it is over and our country will be crippled. This is not going to be easy or painless. Like it or not, this is our generations' existential crises and it's huge. Nazis, the KKK control our federal government and they will not give away any power. We are going to have to take it from them, and that will be voting while being harassed, arrested, lied to about voting locations and intimidation. Resist in every way you can, as often as you can. I think putting as much pressure on Maga as possible, all at once, all of the time is a tactical winner. They are fallible humans who are picking fights with nearly everyone around the world. Make them defend themselves which will lead to mistakes and thus our victory. This is it friends, be ready for the worst and be as proactive as you can, including supporting our existing Democratic leaders, especially if the gov't does shut down. That is when they'll need us the most, so please set aside your differences and support them during the shutdown, even through mistakes and the inevitable unintended consequences.

Thanks, be strong.
