In a small way, I am at peace with this election. [View all]
In a larger way, I'm petrified at the prospect of another Trump term, of course.
But I am in peace in the sense that I know this election is now a test for the American public, and not of our candidate or our party. The public as a whole knows all the deep and serious flaws of Donald Trump. They know about his racism, his sexism, and his anti-LGBT bigotry. They know he sent his followers to attack the Capitol. They know he tried to overturn the last election. They know he's cognitively impaired, that he lies as easily as he breathes. They know that he ended the constitutional right to abortion. If people still vote for him after all that, whether because of it or in spite of it, then that is their responsibility entirely.
Obviously we need to work hard and get out every last vote we can. Our work may yet be the difference between winning and losing. But if the outcome is the wrong one, it won't be the fault of those who tried to stop it. It will be the fault of those who cause it, with eyes wide open.
