And I know that’s the point- to wear us down. And I know 95% of the stuff they’re spewing and trying is bullshit. But it’s still frustrating and tiring, and the constant attacks on just basic norms and decency and our institutions. They’re traitors. And they are trying to kill our nation with 1000 cuts. We need to everything we can, if we get through this, to hold people to account and to shore up our processes and institutions so we don’t go through this again.

4. It's time to recalibrate. As much as I want to celebrate this victory (and I have), we have

officially entered a period of extremely divided government, meaning the White House and Senate do not align and the two parties are active, open belligerents. Things can happen, but they will be incremental.

This country was ruined for 10-15 years the second that assface came down the escalator. I'm not sure what can right the ship. People are too far gone.
