20. Agree totally

I agree totally. We are not dead, we weren’t dead before, during and after the revolutionary war, before and after the civil war, WWI, WWII, Korean conflict, Vietnam, the major assassinations, depressions, recessions, sell offs and buyouts. We held up and against the KKK, the 9/11 attacks and attackers. We showed the world who were are and we will show them again. Our leaders are seeing what they and the rest of us need to see, and do.

2026 is not the start, but now is when we need to start the change. Get involved with local politics. Volunteer at voting polls….. one of the best ways to witness wrongdoing with elections. Help your elderly neighbors get out and vote, or help get them registered if they are not.This country is not dead, just being a turtle on its back, but me like others would roll that turtle over and point him it the correct direction…. I’m hoping he walks left.
