5. I'm becoming increasingly concerned that the answer is, no one.

I have a terrible feeling in my gut, not only about the current state of affairs with the asshole but I also have a terrible feeling that even though we’re supposed to win again this November and the polls will show we should, that we’re not going to.

The GOP has done nothing at all to prevent Russian interference in our elections and with, I believe anyway, active assets in our government, there’s no guarantee they aren’t receiving help from the very highest levels.

I was discouraged and disgusted quite a bit during the Bush years but I was never scared, not really. Not like this. Every day is a horror show with these people and nothing is being done to stop it.

I kept saying it in 2016 and I’ll say it again. We have to vote like our very lives are on the line. Because they damn well may be.

And we have to stop fueling their idiot base by talking about how easy this is going to be, impeaching the imbecile before any crimes directly tied to him have been revealed and bringing back Madam Speaker.

As much as I like her, this sort of talk only fires up the idiots. Some Republicans who are disenchanted with Тяцмр might stay home but a chance to thwart a person they consider a mortal enemy for no real reason will come out for that.

I’m honestly terrified of what the future holds and I’m going to fight like hell this year to prevent a further catastrophe. We can’t go on like this.

We just can’t.
