I wish you the best and hope this helps with your feelings of despair. We will claw back our democracy from the cliff with our fingernails. You are not alone.

So, now is our time to protest peacefully, call your Senators, show up at a town hall, and pay attention to what is really going on, despite the distractions. A voice of reason every day is Heather Cox Richardson on bluesky.social.

I have never posted a political opinion in my life, but your post made me realize that we can never give up. Ever. I understand how you feel and I hope that you can take a step outside, take a deep breath and think about what we can all do to help. You are a helper. You run to, when others run away.
