Optimism and a Call to Fight

I know there is disappointment on the SC taking the immunity case but stuff like this just emboldens me to keep donating, working on GOTV efforts and pushing back against information. Let’s be brutally honest here, every time we wanted someone else or something else to get Trump out other than voting hasn’t worked.

1. Impeachment
2. Mueller Report
3. Litigation


Candidly, Trump would appeal anything that happens in court so he would be on the ballot in November. There are no easy outs, we have to vote because the same people that claim they wouldn’t vote for Trump if he gets convicted in criminal court are the same ones that said they wouldn’t vote for him after he said grab them by the p. These people voted for him and will do so again no matter what. I’m not one of these people that is anti polls but I am a pro action person. We have work to do and I’m willing to do it and I hope you are as well. As I was told when I was playing sports, you sometimes have to overcome your opponent and the refs to win. We will have to overcome a lot to get the win but I believe that we will.

but they don't gauge enthusiasm well at all. And a lot can change before November. Cohen testifying that he went to jail for the crime Individual-1 directed him to commit would seem to be a slam dunk for a jury. The economy will continue to slowly improve. Project 2025 scares the shit out of people. Then there's the fall of Roe, and an extremist, partisan Supreme Court.

I'm not too worried, but I'll keep working. You're right; the cavalry is us.
