It's just horrible that the price we pay for Trump losing will be in deaths and economic depression.

Assuming he loses. *fingers crossed*

Not to mention all of the lasting, permanent damage he's done to our country and our world.

We have a very long, painful road ahead, and global catastrophe from the climate change crisis is basically certain. We have to hang together for all of it.

If they're not suffering already.

I guess every cult leader preys on the hopes, fears, and gullibility of their victims - their followers.

If Trump does not lose or somehow get out of the way permanently, then we are really in for a very bad time to the tune of losing our democracy for good and totalitarian rule by him facilitated by the GOP's quest for relevance. It is all they have left.

This will be the most pivotal and decisive election, methinks, in US history. It's a fork in the road and a potential date with sheer dystopia and a boot stomping a human face forever.

The rope sure is tightening! I think you meant it the other way though, and if that's the case, I'm all in!

Biden must win.

We must win for Hillary. We must win for America. We must win for justice.

But we may not. I am steeling myself for a long, hard summer and fall.
