It will never be normal again

We, as a nation, have completed our voyage through ooooo the looking Glass. It's over. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, that will make Republicans act against the extistenial threat that occupies the White House.
Nothing. He could rape a baby and set it on fire and they would find a way to justify it.
Every day I wake up with a knot in my stomach, compelled to see what horrifying thing has happened and praying, though I an not a big prayer person that none of the liberal justices died overnight. Or even that Kennedy, imperfect as he is, isn't retiring because you know his replacement will be 1000 times worse.
I fear for my kids who are in their 20s and I can't even honestly say "this too shall pass."
There is no bottom.
I'm carrying petitions, . registering voters, I'm making donations, but I feel like Don Quixote, tilting at windmills.
That's all for now. I have to shower and go to work.
