The only thing I have to say about this weekend.

In the face of what has happened. In response to all the unkind, cruel and hateful things coming from those who feel they won this weekend.
I only have one thing to say.
IF.
IF you cannot keep enough voters from voting...
IF you cannot gerrymander enough districts...
IF the money of your donors cannot drown the voice of your opponents...
IF your foreign patrons cannot interfere successfully with the voters and the voting...
IF you cannot gin up enough fear and hatred to hide the real problems...
IF you cannot change enough laws to protect you from facing the consequences of your crimes...
IF you actually have to bow the will of the majority of voters and not a carefully cultivated and indoctrinated minority..
IF the packed and rigged courts cannot overrun the legitimate elections...
IF all the cheating, lies and manipulation fall short in the face of conviction and determination coming from the disenfranchised, the discarded, the demeaned and downtrodden...
We will NOT be kind, or forgetful, or forgiving.
But we WILL be just.
Tick Tock
