Jim Cahill FTW. Get your happy self to the polls in 2022.

Link to tweet

Methinks that Conservatives have over reached once again. I was a bit worried about 2022, but no more. Thanks to the vicious conservative fools in Texas and Mississippi and other barbaric Red places turnout by the Good People of this country is going to be way up. Another Blue Wave is building, shades of 2018 and 2020.

Not sure I share your optimism about turnout, but Cahill is right. CrispyQ Sep 2021 #3

Quite ok. I'd rather fight from behind anyway. Tommymac Sep 2021 #4

We need all 81 million to vote again. 2020 was just one battle. The war continues

I'm not a blind optimist, rather a pragmatic pessimist.

But I've seen the trend that Conservatives over reach every single time over the last 30 years.

Monica in 1997. Iran in 2002. Penny Stocks in 2007. Birthers in 2011. Trump in 2016. Trump in 2017. Trump in 2018. Trump in 2019. Covid denial in 2020. Now touching a third political rail - Women's Rights in 2022.

The brass ring is coming up once again and We The People are going to survive again by the skin of our teeth, but survive we will.
