As a liberal, one of the hardest things to deal with is hope. I keep thinking that we are about to turn a corner because we can’t possibly keep electing traitors, become a theocracy, punish the poor, and destroy the lives of kids. Then the gop wins an election and it really hurts. And yet… the polls are starting to turn. 👀
Hope can be a hinderance.
Not always. But be aware.
“Do not depend on the hope of results. You may have to face the fact your work will be apparently worthless and achieve no result at all, if not perhaps at times bring about its opposite. As you get used to this, you start more and more to concentrate not on the results, but on the value, the rightness and the truth of the work itself.”

Yep. I know the feeling.
We still have to do the work.
Get out the vote, Help others to get out the vote.
Talk to your neighbors, even if you strongly disagree.
Don't flinch from the fight. But don't make it worse by demonizing others.
We will win. Maybe not today, but we will !
