I feel so devastated about politics now

I feel so ill from how evil things are nowadays from the evil GOP and their psychopathic evil towards LIBRARIANS, AND EDUCATORS AND MINORITIES AND LGBTQPIA and jewish people these people need to be dealt, the supporters are even worse their neo nazis, neofascists and antisemitic and homophobic people and transphobic people and go after children, be it trans kids and gay kids and lesbian kids and bisexual kids, they also go after women and want the government to be their husband and are misogynistic and the ones that make the decisions don't have uteruses, and they go after children by not wanting them to learn and read books that would make them smarter, and they want to control our history and want to control our medical system by denying health care for minorities.

Worse, the courts are so compromised by conservative ideologues that the people can no longer find relief from Republican tyranny through the judicial process.

And it’s only going to get worse.

is indeed undergoing a transformation, but in a historical context America is still a very young country when compared to great nations of the past. The 2024 elections will present a great window of opportunity to adjust our course. What we eventually evolve into is yet to be determined....

They are counting on me.

Other voters are counting on me.

There are people at work who are not qualified to vote

Devastation is what Republicans want.

fill in the rest

There may be other "D" words. (There's a word limit on titles here)
These are psych-ops.

There are over 150 cognitive biases.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases
The MSM "normalizes" spectacular but low-probability and meaningless events.

Stick to your beliefs, take action ... 6 states are already minorty-majority. The Magats are shoveling water to stop the tide from coming in. (well, they're shoveling something other than water ... )

Turn off the TV. Get your headlines from DU. Read what inspires you to help GOTV.

and get on a phone bank.

Ain't no sense is sitting on your butt crying about what's going on. "Get Up, Stand Up, Don't give up the fight"

I'm certain someone in the Democratic party running for office needs boots on da ground

Mods: I'm not attacking anyone here, just speaking out loud.
