No it won't be easy. Given that I'm 70 yrs and have heart disease, I already have 1 foot in the grave. I may not even last to next month, much less the next election. But it really doesn't matter to me, because as a Buddhist I'm open to the possibility of reincarnation. My mission in this life time is to help my progressive friends calm down, so as to better practice patience and skillful means.
Republicans have been working for decades (since Reagan) to create the perfect kleptocracy. If we have a decades-long struggle to effect change, so be it. How many decades did it take to make some big chinks in Jim Crow? A couple of Buddhist perfections that we practice are patience and enthusiastic perseverance. I'm far from perfecting these qualities, that's why they are called practices. We keep practicing to get better and better at it. You have to do what you think best. I hope that you can find some way or someone to inspire you and lift your spirits.
