Americans have been told what makes the country strong is that there are balances of power and we're watching it unfold in real time. I dearly hope to be proven wrong in my worry.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoBest you can do now is not give up. Spread the news wherever you can. You won't convince everyone, but every crazy story will make people start to question. There's a lot of crazy to share. That should all add up to a midterm that starts to turn the tide. Also, definitely don't be afraid to call your congress reps and be loud about this stuff.
