   Well-worded. I’m to the point of no longer reading my news/ politics feeds. I know it’s wrong & I should educate myself, but it’s just too much for me. As in, I have a hard time not sobbing over as you so eloquently said, “my country dying.” I’m going to steal that phrase.

   My partner is an optimist. Any time I bring news like this to him in shock, he always has an optimistic “thing” that will happen. On this he calmed me by being convinced it’ll never pass by the superior court.

   I hope he’s wrong. I have a good feeling about Americans (liberal AND conservative) having enough, & hold out hope that things will get better once the Dems have control again.

   But I have a bad, bad feeling about what horrible things might happen until then.

   I’m glad someone can muster a degree of optimism because I sure as hell cannot. All I see is decades of decline and strife in the future like some sort of Gibson-Dick-Orwell mash-up.
