We're finally out of reasons to look for heroes to save our Democracy

[lunatica]

We waited and waited for Mueller and that was a major let down. We waited in vain for our Judiciary to stop him. Then we waited and waited for a couple of years for Pelosi to decide to impeach him. Then we waited for the Senate to do its job. We’ve been waiting for 3 years. Other than the huge victory Patriots like Pelosi and the House members won for us it’s been exhausting and heartbreaking.

But now waiting for our institutions to rescue us is over. We can now roll up our sleeves and do it ourselves. President Obama told us we were who we were waiting for, and we finally know he was right. Our Forefathers called us ‘We the people’. And that means we decide that our government is by the people and for the people.

This is a war that should not be over until we say it’s over.

1. I don't blame this on anyone other than the Senate GOP.

This was always going to be the result and shouldn't surprise anyone. The "concern" and meaningless votes were just part of the script.

3. Exactly

And now it’s our move.

2. hence...

we were pretty ignorant not to heed President Obama's words... "we (you) are the one's we have been waiting for"

4. We're a lot wiser than we were 3 years ago

It took us a while to grasp the depths of depravity and the bottomless pit Trump and the GOP were so willing to plumb. It took a while to understand malignant narcissism and how destructive it can be, but we now know.

Our choice is do we just roll over and let it rule our lives or do we fight it? We all know the answer to that.

5. I'm still above ground. It ain't over.
