For the olds
The 18 year olds who are starting college this fall were 11 years old when Charlottesville happened. They were 9 when Donald Trump announced his candidacy for president by calling Mexicans rapists.
They just do not understand the before times. They think Trump is a Normal part of #Politics
we all should demand better.
2016 was Cosmic Jr's first Presidential election vote. I cannot tell you how sad that continues to make me.

for me, i was mad. Mad that Trump happened. But I knew the pendulum would swing back from Authoritarianism and back to democracy
sadly 8 years later, and I am no longer sure that Pendulum will swing back. Too damn close to call. There are too many rich affluent people wanting American Democracy to fail, and the means to defeat them are small and ineffective.
the DNC is showing us the way. and that gives me hope

Oh I was mad after that election, and my hatred for trump is forever.
I was doing everything I could to support Biden... but I was terrified because we just didn't have the awareness we needed to shut down trump.
As soon as Biden stepped down, and Kamala took over... after 2 days, I was energized.
It's close, but after the DNC and all the millions in really hard hitting political msgs they've got planned... I think we can save Democracy one more time...
