We should give up, there's nothing we can do
GOTCHA!
The past 4 years have been heartbreaking at times, but there have been good things as well.
In 2016, Trump discussed a Muslim database. Remember that? That didn't happen. I'm not Muslim but I was ready to put a "I'm Muslim" armband on. I thank God that was never implemented, maybe there's a secret one, but there is certainly no "See a Muslim? Report them" page on the government.
We don't have Trumpcare... which I'm pretty sure would be insurance companies having a denial quota for poor people if they want extra tax cuts.
Joe Arpaio, Roger Stone, and Michael Flynn are still criminal idiots.
The Trump administration has been cruel to GLBTQ Americans, but people are still coming out, people are still proud to be who they are. Doesn't matter what Trump says or does, the larger part of the country (Both in numbers and being the bigger people) still stands with GLBTQ Americans.
A landslide reversal to the Trump agenda, he's not getting EVERYTHING he wants, because of the House majority. This came with a diversity and new voices we've never seen before. That was because of us.
Trump is impeached. Removed? No. But his administration will forever have that asterisk on it. The same things they said about Clinton being 'marked' with impeachment, all of that applies to Trump as well, and that will NEVER go away. That was because of us.
Pretty much her first day on the job, Rep. Ilhan Omar did the unthinkable, she made Elliott Abrams... a Trump, Bush, and Reagan toady admit that one of Reagan's misadventures in El Salvador (A horribly bloody massacre) wasn't a good thing. Maybe there will finally be some justice for the dead and the survivors.
And as I've personally found out, working for change is messy and sometimes you won't make friends while you're doing it. But as I've said before, and I will say it again, it was... Worth it!
So I will never stop advocating for and participating in activism, working outside the system and in ways that are not 'approved', and being a pest, especially to those in power. But there's one more thing we can do this November, and you know what that is...
