We have lost the Supreme Court, now I hope we don't lose [View all]

in November. I was confident but now I worry that this will give them more enthusiasm as we get closer to Election Day. Republicans already tend to vote more than Dems during midterms. Will putting an attempted rapist on the Supreme Court be enough to get our base out to vote? Will the young people really show up? Will the young people worried about gun violence show up? Will the minorities show up? Did everyone forget about how the Trump administration separated those children from their parents? Were they paying attention when McConnel, Graham and Grassley did all their sneaky shit? If we can’t pick up a lot of seats in the era of Trump and his corrupt group then I don’t know what to think. If we can’t win then, when will we win???

I’m gonna stop worrying myself about it. I’m going to volunteer this month. Then I’m going to get myself and my family to the polls. The day after the election we are going to Disney. I will either use Disney as a way to escape after a loss or as a celebration of a win.
