14. funny enough... not me.
I've been angry for months. I've been hurting for weeks. I've been overwhelmed with grief for my country for days. But I read a couple of things yesterday that gave me the strength I needed to step back, look around and breathe. They mean something to me, maybe not to others.

I hate that people are hurting and dying and dead; I hate that the Misadministration is going to try to use that pain for their own gain... but we know they're going to try to hurt people so we can stop them because they're SO. FUCKING. TRANSPARENT. We know how they're going to jump. The MSM has come around, and the becalmed outrage that has held so many of us for so long is picking up a breeze. Victory is there for us for the taking. We just have to grab it and not let go.

There's a light at the end of the tunnel and it isn't a train. It's still a long walk to daylight, but we can get there, one step at a time. We're coming through the stormfront, through the fog, whatever weather metaphor you like.

This is the first time I've believed we can really take them down if we want it bad enough and if we pull those we elected hard enough.
