I hope you'll pay attention to some of the good things happening which ought to give us all some measure of hope.

Trump has been cut down repeatedly in the courts.

The Republicans in Congress are not fulfilling their oath of office where Trump is concerned, but a few are speaking out now and then, and many are leaving because they see the handwriting on the wall -- just in time of the Blue Wave.

Democrats are running -- and winning! -- in record numbers. People are increasingly aware, increasingly appalled, and increasingly committed to taking back the government. Many conservative intellectuals and thought leaders are very much against him and increasingly outspoken. Here's just one article which ought to help you feel somewhat more optimistic:

Boycott the Republican Party

This is not to say I can guarantee we're going to win, or that "everything will be okay." But there ARE reasons to have hope. And nurture it.
