Hope

So this is how it's been for a long, long year.

Many of us have grown numb after unrelenting shocks. What now passes for ordinary would have once been inconceivable. The government is under the control of an erratic racist who engages in nuclear brinkmanship on Twitter. He is dismantling the State Department, defending the hollowing out of the diplomatic corps by saying, on Fox News, “I’m the only one that matters.”

He publicly pressures the Justice Department to investigate his political opponents. He’s called for reporters to be jailed, and his administration demanded that a sportscaster who criticized him be fired. Official government statements promote his hotels. You can’t protest it all; you’d never do anything else. After the election, many liberals pledged not to “normalize” Trump. But one lesson of this year is that we don’t get to decide what normal looks like. New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg

And last Tuesday, we finally had a ray of sunshine. A hope that maybe things will get better the only way they can. 

By voting out of office these terrible people (Republicans), who care more for giving tax breaks to their rich friends, undermining our Democracy, and attacking people they don't like, than serving the American people and making things better for ALL of us.




This was fantastic and a real morale booster, but it has to continue.

How about next, decent Alabamans, (Alabamians? Alabamites?) don't send lying, hypocritical, hate-filled, pedophile Roy Moore to the U.S. Senate?
