I think your last sentence says it all, TC. I have been waiting also. In a way, Alito and the rest of the band of Injustices, did us a favor. They exposed themselves to us. They are a part of a big plot of extremists ( I won’t even call them Christian nationalists because that would be too kind.) to rip our freedoms away. As a whole, I think we thought we were powerless, that our backs were against the wall. We were at a pivotal point when our beloved Joe couldn’t get his words out. We were alarmed. But like a Phoenix rising, Joe gave us the ultimate gift by becoming the sacrificial lamb. He lifted Kamala up for everyone to see, to get excited about. I am excited! I participated in the White Women’s event and I plan on breaking the Internet again with tomorrow’s event which will include all of our sisters. We have to trust each other, us women. We cannot become complacent again and we shouldn’t permit it. We have a purpose, we always have.

Might try reading Timothy Snyder's "The Road to Unfreedom" -- to get a sense of how religion is used as a tool once again to control the masses, how truth is erased as a bulwark, how Christianity is expressly removed from the mix.

Daughter of Nazi/Bolshevik/Soviet occupation, Marlene -- sharing your pain and your resolve. Your perception about their 'kristofascism' as a tool, reminded me of Snyder's book.

Biden did pass the torch--to all of us! And we did as you say. We got very excited and joyful, and money from many of us poured into Kamala's coffers.

But I still have the only HARRIS bumper sticker I've seen. I made mine.

Shoot. I wish I could post a photo here, but it's not working. I'm damn proud of it. But thanks for the info. I'm sure others will use it!
