The moment I found out Trump was elected I was: "Just wait for the people to find out who they elected," and it didn't take long!!

That was also the moment I KNEW Trump and the GOP would lose in 2018.
And lose again in 2020!
The mountain of atrocities would drive more people to the poles than ever - and it did.

When I saw early and new registrations for voting were up in 2018 and 2020 - I knew.
When I saw the huge lines of voters in Wisconsin while in the cold and wet - I knew.
When the early voting ballots were coming in the greatest numbers ever - I knew.

And then there was Dobbs.
Making Republican policies real!
And the 10-year old in Ohio.
And the book/banning and burning.

No one in their right mind thought the judge in Texas was wrong.
And then came Paxton!! Who again made Republican's sordid policies real!

It was so easy: Just let Republicans be Republicans!
