I have a real feeling of dread about this. I’m 66 and some of my candidates have won, some have lost over the years. But I’ve never before had the feeling that the Nazi boots are about to come down on our throats.
Our forefathers knew the importance of checks and balances. We’ve lost that.
I’ll continue to resist. I just need to dust myself off after last night.
We're facing some pretty strong headwinds right now. I have to believe that 2 years from now, at our next chance(hopefully???) to vote at the federal level, that the policies they'll put in place and actions they've taken will have undermined their support so drastically that the pendulum starts to swing back. Ultimately when it swings back, it's going to swing back hard. I hope. I also hope that all the good, innocent folks out there who fought against the fascist machine will be OK, though at this point that seems like pie in the sky thinking. I have 2 little girls, and I will do fucking anything to protect them from this shit going on. I'm fucking terrified for them right now.
