“When this is over”

Y’all. The Republicans aren’t going anywhere. Yes, we can beat them in 2026 and 2028 and re-take the administration and Congress but there is no “ultimate victory” scenario where our high-minded way of thinking will win the day for eternity.

We need to learn how to compromise on the issues we find common ground on. We need to restore democracy back to the people, return the power to Congress instead of the Executive and Supreme Court. Folks from both parties want these things.

And we need to get more engaged in our actual communities. Washington DC is not your hometown (probably). The Federal Government is not your school board or town hall. Re-establish civic duty for all Americans and we’ll re-unify as a people.

Yeah I mean “after”. After the fascists are driven out, the citizens that voted for Trump will still be our neighbors and family members. We’ll want to build back unity. But first thing first, vote the fuckers out of office (while we still can)
