I think we should be able to talk about our anxiety, dread and fear here.

101. The situation may seem "dire"...

...but you beat anxiety, fear, and dread with action. WE ARE THE CALVARY. Kamala Harris isn't the savior, neither is Gavin Newsome or Gretchen Whitmer. There's no guarantee any of them will win anymore than there is Biden will, but the only piece of courage we need is to stand by our presumptive nominee and explain to people why they should as well. If saving democracy isn't enough for them, they can look forward to the bread and circuses Trump will bring.

I've said before I'm not going to tell anyone not to be afraid, but I know acting now in the way we must will be easier than doing it under an authoritarian. In my mind, there's a real possibility I will be one of those who will die in the street fighting against what Trump will bring. My best chance for continuing to live is to do all I can to stop him from becoming president again. And I believe we can do that if we can stop with the "what-ifs" and get to work.
