Happy New Year All!

Although I think 2020 will be a horrible year for our Country, I wish the best to all.

My pessimism is based upon the last 25 years of Republican actions. Many hold out hope that enough Republicans will come to their senses and put Country in front of party. IMO, they will do the opposite. Again, this is based upon the last 25 years. They have an echo chamber of hate radio and Faux News. And the downward spiral is gaining speed.

Again, IMO, there is one way out, beginning with massively out voting them and then relentlessly pushing back. Democrats will need to be increasingly combative and protect our own. We can never allow another Al Franken, never give an inch to Republicans or the media. Kind of sucks, but it is the new reality.
