That is the republicans goal.
We can and will take this country back.
Get angry.
I went to my local Democratic office and will be registering voters.
I will work elections again.
This is our country.
We can repair the damage.

They won this battle but they won't win the war.
Remember November 7 - a huge night for Democrats, especially in Viriginia.
Remember December 12 - a huge night for Democrats in Alabama.
Momentum is on our side. They think they are winning - let them. They are in for a big surprise in November of 2018.
The Mueller investigation continues, which means there is something there. Trump's crimes and wrong doing will catch up with him. It may not look the way you want it to, but the wheels of justice are turning.

(22,976 posts)That Orange Pig who watches 8 hours of TV each day, plays some golf, then pretends to be some jumped-up version of a quasi-dictator that THING doesnt deserve to be in the White House. The shit hes pulled has been incredibly risky to the security and stability of the U.S. Government.
Ill stay and fight, along with every other Democrat/progressive/sentient-human who wants to go the full 15 rounds with these bums. Without their sugar daddies (Kochs, Mercers, et al) they are just empty suitsghosts, haunting themselves.
Martin Luther King, Jr.s famous quote gives me a toehold in the chaos:
The arc of the moral universe is long,
but it bends toward justice.

Elections have consequences. Your whole thought here is about self.

(10,828 posts)We won't lose unless we throw our hands up in utter despair or apathy. That's exactly what the Trumpsters and their Russian propaganda machine want--to exhaust the will to fight back, keep going and/or march to the polls for each and every election.
We stand together. We vote. We win.
The damage these traitors have exacted is real but not irreversible. Think Virginia, NJ, Alabama, etc.
We stand together. We never forget. We never forgive.
Ever!

In the end, we NEED to win the 2018.
But we also get to feel awful about this horrible thing.

(22,912 posts)I've been depressed all year (and that depression only deepens) over what is happening to our nation under Trump and the Republican regime. But that has absolutely nothing to do with giving up. Nations recover from devastation. Do you think our people are worse off now than the German public was in 1946 - or even the Brits then for that matter?
The midterms are less than a year away. Republicans are mostly getting killed this year in the elections have taken place - when they have won it is only because they started out with over a 25 point advantage. We need 2018 to be a blue tsunami, and to make that happen there is no time left to remain idle. Work spent building that blue wave is therapeutic - much better than sitting around depressed.
If 2018 is a big blue year on the state level we can start undoing the damage caused nationally by Republican gerrymandering. By 2020 the Senate electoral races shift back to strongly supporting Democratic candidates during a year when Trump will face the voters (if he is still in office). By January 2021 we can have strong Democratic control of the entire federal government.
This is no time to give up.
