(9,117 posts)People dont actually start voting until October. I see no reason to start panicking yet.
I dont think that the orange creature will have the same electoral advantages he had last time. Weve seen his BS in action. Hes stomped on a lot of people. Hes not only continued to alienate good-hearted people, but hes also alienated members of the coalition who put him in office.
Hes also aroused us. A lot of us were complacent back in 2016 (I was). We couldnt imagine that Trump could actually become President. We do now, and a lot of us Effing hate the results. Were still angry and frightened and motivated.
I would point out that while the Trump coalition was enough to blow the Blue Wall sky-high in 2016, Trump only won by slivers. Hes been losing supporters by slivers since then. You and I and Whats-his-name would eventually bleed out by the death of a thousand cuts, if there are enough cuts.
This election will be hard, but I believe that its winnable for the good guys (Thats us, in case you havent figured that out).
Sit down, brew and drink some herbal tea, then get a good nights rest. Youll feel better.
