I’m reading this in the comfort of my own bed, not quite as old but a haven nonetheless. I love this story, I love its hope, I love the calendar and I too hope to survive and see this time through and see all my loved ones through too. I’m fighting here in SC and will continue. The majority has spoken, according to my own mother, but I know the majority isn’t in the right. May real change come and good people stand up and we move forward or at least defend and stabilize the progress made. Thank you for existing and writing and shining.

Perhaps we’ll all live to tell the tale

With all due respect, not all Republicans are vile. Many of them are regular folks who are deeply frustrated with the government. They truly believe that T will fix everything that is wrong with America. We must stop this division between us, which is what is really vile and hateful. We cannot fight hatred with hatred. Befriend the Republicans. (To be clear, I don't mean the politicians. I mean your neighbors.) Extend a hand, at least. Build bridges, not walls.
