Unfortunately although I love ❤️ the dream you allude to Cynthia, my real hope is that the iDJT and his supporters continue to engage and enrage us. We have the numbers to take them on at the polls. Hopefully the trumpistas will provide the engagement necessary. If we can retain the Senate and House the Repugnants will split wide open and have to redefine themselves. tRump is both our devil and our potential savior.

You echo my sentiments David. Yeah, the gop is making it harder to vote but they haven't stopped our votes, the dems need to vote like they've never voted before!

Big ifs David but that has to be the next step. Putting the dfp in prison is an essential part of the process.

David - increasingly I am abandoning that kind of think. I do not want to underestimate the ability of Republicans to find a way back to power. They are corrupt to the core, and they know how to use it. Also, I do not want to overestimate the will and gumption of the progressive voters on our country. Their MO is to complain and complain, and then sit out elections in protest. Or at least become complacent and sit out elections. Especially mid term elections. The progressives have really performed the last two elections, one of them a midterm. Can we really still expect that enthusiasm to continue indefinitely? I hope I'm wrong. I would rather bring these crooks to justice and put them in dark places never to be heard from again.

Yes-- without his bizarre antics, drooling at Putin's feet, and the total kowtowing of the repubs, so much has been revealed to us of our shadows and our vulnerabilities. The wicked past occupier may strangely enough, be the impetus for huge changes and the fine-tuning of our democracy as The Great Experiment. Who would have thunk?
