36. I feel cynical sometimes, and then

Wed Jan 3, 2018, 12:16 AM

Jan 2018

we win Virginia, then Alabama and I realize that Fox News and talk radio only reaches a certain demographic.

There are so many of us who are angry by the hate speech, the Muslim bans, the attacks on Gold star families, women, Colin Kaepernick, BLM, the support of White Nationalist, the erosion of the government, the constant attacks on Hillary and Obama, etc. etc.

There are more of us than there are of them.

And we have Obama and Holder working hard on the ground along with many many others.

There is hope. All is not lost. Perhaps we are lucky and Trump is provoking a pendulum swing.
