"...this essay is not a pontification upon why or how the Democrats lost the election. I have zero interest in adding to the babble of pundits and talking heads trying to narrativize the results. They don’t matter – don’t waste your time on finger-pointing or what-ifs. What’s done is done. and make no mistake, things will get worse before they get better.

But there is still hope.

Do not freely give them your silence. Do not muzzle yourse lf. Do not comply in advance."

The severe lack of precipitation has been an ongoing trend since mid-August " NOAA Climate.gov
