To those scared about Tuesday---I'm scared, too, but that's just the initial emotion. [View all]

Then, I get really pissed!

Despite being hampered by factors I don't care to discuss, I have opposed Trumpism in ways that go beyond voting and posting here. Some involved money; some involved time. In my area, ALL involved sticking my neck out.

This may brand me as an insensitive jerk---there are probably a lot of heads nodding affirmatively at that---but I just cannot understand why everyone can't transition from scared to angry and then channel that into finding SOMETHING they can do to either help one of ours or hamper one of theirs.

Even a turtle can't make progress unless it sticks its neck out.
