I'm trying to talk myself out of believing him this time.
Maybe we are screwed no matter how many votes we bring in because Putin.
I'm also trying to prepare myself for that horrible outcome.
Losing faith. Talk me down?

Now he's gonna repeat this shit a million times.
Let's not lose faith until after the election.
I was talking with a RUMPer last night and I said no matter what just believe what Bob Mueller comes out with...and he agreed.

You are not helpless. Don't be hopeless. Do not be paralyzed.
but i am in fact disabled Some good suggestions there for people who can't move around, like me. Been there, done those.
However, none of that will have the slightest effect on Putin lying about our turnout, and hacking our off-year election infrastructure. Which was hacked in Colorado in 2016.

(10,252 posts)Trump lies about everything. Beginning every morning when he looks in the mirror and admires himself for being so great, so smart, so rich, so wonderful - the likes of which the world has never see. Greater than Caesar, greater than Alexander the Great, greater than Lincoln.
And if Dems don't win the House, so what? Are we going to quit and abandon our ideals? Are we going to stop fighting for justice and defending the Constitution. I'm sure not. Hang in there. Practice patience and sharpen your resolve to rid our country of Fascism. We are not powerless.

(32,086 posts)That fuckstick has never told the truth in his miserable, stinking life. Nor, has he ever been right about anything. What makes you think this time will be any different? He's full of shit.

This ain't your father's Republican Party.

And yes, no one would have dared use the phrase 'Red Wave' when I was a kid--back in the day--without being condemned a Commie. My dad and my father-in-law, both dead now, were WWII vets. My father was a solid Republican, small business man, hated taxes and groused about politicians in general.
But he also sobbed when JFK was assassinated, grieved along with the entire country. It was the first time I saw my father cry.
It didn't matter that Kennedy was a Dem or that my father had complained about his policies, much to my mother's chagrin. My father knew what that murder meant for JFK's family, his friends but even more so, for the country.
It was a different time, a different world. As a kid, it bewildered me. But those reactions, those sobbing, grieving, frightened adults stayed with me.

He has lost every special election he has been involved in since.
