Let me put that another way

9. Not gonna lie, it looks bad. I'm terrified. BUT,

There is an election in a matter of days. That election is coming while women are still freshly pissed off. No, we can't fix all the bad shit--it's not going to stop as long as that festering orange anus in riding around in Air Force 1, and beyond that--but we can start systematically kicking out every one of the ones who have aided and abetted in this heinous fuckery.

We are coming for them, there are a lot of us, and we are pissed off. Every woman that said MeToo, every man that knows or loves a woman who has been harmed, every parent, every kid who ever saw mom victimized, anybody tired to death of being told "What you say doesn't matter" is now watching the victory laps and the affirming votes. We know who they are and we are making our list. We will remember, and we WILL vote.

There is a danger here. We cannot plead that we are tired and we cannot give in to the frustration. The continued body shots have taken a hard toll, but we are still alive to fight another day. That's what we have to hang onto. Cry if you need to--I certainly have--rage if you can, then organize. Lead the way for the ones coming up now. Cheer them on, teach them how, hold them when they cry in frustration. We owe that to ourselves and to our children.
