2. Well, democracy held through the last election.

Maybe it seemed like by the hair of its chinny-chin-chin, but it HELD.

We were NOT sunk to the bottom of a red sea of Republican votes. We kept hold of the Senate and could even win another Senate seat next month, and were only edged out in the House.

And one of the MAJOR takeaways was the right to choose, which the GOP was steering toward the rocks. That didn’t work for them either.

And we can’t ease up now. We have to stay strong and build on what we know works. Keep on standing with women, and women’s rights. Just don’t forget to promote that. As long as the bad guys keep gunning for our rights, we HAVE TO remain vigilant, and battle-ready.

Much as I wish it, the bad guys won’t go away, or concede defeat even when it’s about to bite their heads off.
