Don't let despair or panic paralyze you. Go out and register voters. Donate to your preferred candidate if you can. Liberal democracy is not free and needs to be fought for constantly, because if not, the wolves show up at the gates. I grew up in Germany. Granted, I was born in the 60s, but my country's history has been ingrained in me.
So yes, I'm terrified right now because I can see the possible trajectory here. But that is why I WILL not sit down, stay silent, or crawl into my safe space - my own four walls and my family. I have children and grandchildren. I owe it to them to regroup, get out there and fight.

OP
My guess is that Nov. sees a huge Blue Wave that makes the last one seem a trickle.
