I hate meta posts but I have to speak my mind.

This "mommy, I'm scared of the omnipotent Trump monster" talk is disheartening. The enemy wants you to be helpless and hopeless and cowering in fear.

We are going to beat him in 2020 and send him back to Mar-a-Lago or to the federal penitentiary.

Put your big boy or big girl pants on, stand up straight, take the kick me sign off your ass, and be proud you're a Democrat. We have a nation to save.

No whining.

but that's what they want. Think of the Trump administration as a giant squid that squirts out ink when it's threatened so you can't see what's going on. We just have to get through the ink and slay the squid.

Too many time I see Republicans say that 2020 is going to be a Republican blowout.

I try to remind them that the 2018 midterms was a red line blowout on Trump and his policies. His scary caravan talk didnt work, his tariffs are killing blue collars, his tax present to rich people are screwing over the lower and middle class people, and he is stupidly trying to take up the healthcare conversation.

I cant wait till 2020 elections, I plan on working/volunteering for the 1st time for whoever the Dem nominee is, and I'm excited.

Ordinary people who did extraordinary things.

I'm 100% there with them ... this is a fight for the soul of our country.
