Ramona,

Stirring words that i believe in too. So important not to despair. I will say that there is a great deal of incompetence in trying to carry out this power grab. Already trump's poll numbers are dropping and at least one town hall meeting in a Congressional District that's very red, there was an outcry against what Trump is doing, And the TROs are piling up. It's maddening to read abut the damage being caused, some of it irrevocable. But, I believe we, the majority of the decent, will win in the end.

Yes, I’m counting on that incompetence to help us build our case. If it wasn’t so harmful it would be hilarious! Trump has always been a laughable clown yet look where he is. I’m getting dizzy from constantly shaking my head.

I do love to watch those town halls where citizens are shouting those clueless Republicans down. More power to them! Until the Republicans realize they can put an end to it by having no more town halls. 🙄

Thank you for the welcome reminder of who we are.

I think an implosion is brewing- will it be Democracy or MAGA?

I think Democracy.

Thank you. Believe.

I meant to say that I think MAGA will implode.

I hope that wasn't a Freudian slip...........

Thank you, Ramona, for your inspiring words.

And I love the coffee mug in your profile picture. Wish I had one too!

Ramona Grigg's avatar

Thank you, Jane. That mug is from the Hillary Clinton days. It fit for Kamala, as well. Sadly...

I still have my Hillary campaign sign. If only …

Ramona, such welcome reading this morning, when all I do is obsess and despair. I love your point that it starts with BELIEVING we can fight back.

Ramona Grigg's avatar

I also believe it’s essential that we build morale among our troops. I’ll be doing that a lot!

Tina Derke's avatar

Your comments give me hope Ramona. I want to believe we can overthrow these evil people & win back our democracy. The fury is building & I’m so proud of that!

Ramona Grigg's avatar

We can overthrow them. We have to build, we have to rally, we have to BELIEVE.
