36. If there is ever another election, I doubt that the general public will be running to vote for Democrats.

We are on our own.
It is only a matter of time before basic rights are taken away from us.
There is nothing hidden, and no one is coming to help us. Remember, they now have access to everything and people in place to execute any order they are given. And if a lower court agrees with whatever situation is brought up to them, the Supreme Court will surely overturn it.

Things that I thought were impossible, that there would be safeguards in place to stop, are becoming the norm. I’m actually getting to the point that I don’t want to post anymore for fear of being targeted. Just like the teachers that said something and Stephen Colbert, and now Jimmy Kimmel. And the latter two have massive amounts of wealth to deal with the inconvenience of losing a job. The rest of us will not be as lucky.

And we have no one fighting for us. Not even to develop a narrative and proclaim it far and wide. Nothing.

We need a plan and a leader.
