I haven't felt so bereft since December 12, 2000

[Danmel]

When the Supreme Court handed the presidency to W.
There is nothing​ left. They control everything and it is all tainted.
How do we ever recover from this? I am so depressed.

1. I got over missing Obama and family being in the White House just this week...

back to work fighting the GOP agenda.,..

2. By putting in a stronger effort.

By each of us doing just a little bit more. Giving just a little bit more. And people do just that when they get pissed. Anger, while debilitating, sure does get one of their ass.

Tomorrow won't look much different. Next week won't look much different. Next year won't either. The difference in ten years could be big. Very big. That can be positive or negative. I will say that my son will be 10 in ten years. I want things to be going in a different direction at that time. I've got fight left in me.

"I am so depressed."

I need you strong. Keep eating. Keep moving. Keep finding beauty to love. Support your loved ones. Keep fighting for yourself. Without a strong you we will need to work even harder.

3. Me too

I'm 60. Country will probably not recover in my lifetime.
I feel like now they put a RWNJ in the stolen seat the coup is complete.

4. I just keep going.

I was disappointed with the Nader lovers in 2000 costing New Hampshire and Florida and the election. But after many repeats by those idiots, I am ignoring them. I am trained in a technical field and am working in the clean energy area now. I am optimistic about climate change because of the things that I know are happening concerning advances in clean energy technology and the research that is happening now and won't stop because Trump won and is pushing fossil fuels.

The Nader, Stein, Sarandon knuckleheads will keep waiting for the revolution that will never come. Clearer headed people will be making progress on the environment, clean water, droughts despite what Trump does or who he appoints.

5. I understand how you feel, but

sitting around being depressed and feeling sorry for the situation is not the answer. Depression is paralyzing. You need to buck up and get some energy to make our country much better again. We need every person to be calm, clear-minded, and focused on getting the work done to start WINNING ELECTIONS! It won't be easy, and yes the system is rigged and corrupt. But that's no excuse to become emotionally exhausted. Get involved with a local Indivisible group. Find a candidate to support and work hard for - be it for a local, state, or federal office. Winning elections is how we can defeat these dreadful Republicans.

6. I do quite a lot actually

I work for a local elected Democratic official and am very active. I just find this demoralizing because it is so corrupt that our efforts get swallowed up.

10. Judge Asterisk is indeed a downer, but tomorrow is a new day.

Progressives are winning the culture war and we are going to take America back from the GOP donor class. Keep resisting!

[hibbing]

7. And they've only just started

Coming soon to a theater near you, defunding the ACA, Medicare, Medicaid, SS and of course, the always popular tax cuts for the ruling class.


Peace

8. It was Saturday

and I was cleaning house while listening to CNN. When the announcement came I stood in my living room and screamed. I am not by nature a screamer, and as a result I developed an extremely sore throat. Actually missed work the following Monday due to the pain and inability to talk. Also, I was just too damned pissed (in the American sense) to focus on work and deal with my Bush supporting boss and co-workers.

9. Stay strong. Stay positive. Positive. Best resistance is positive persistance.

Judge Asterisk is going to be looked back on as a low point of the GOP Donor-class Tax Cut Administration.

It only gets better from here, but only if we all resist. Do what you can. Call your senators and talk about the GOP ties to the wealthy - it's their main weak point.
