12. Thank you for going, OliverQ

I get your discouragement. But, please believe there is hope. I live in a FL county that is rural, red and retirement. In the past 3 years, I have connected with so many Democrats - all of us "coming out of the closet" so to speak. I've helped to charter a Democratic Women's Club here and have participated in several rallies/protests.
Our rally tonight had more than 100 people! Many of these people do not belong to the Democratic clubs, they've found each other on the dreaded Facebook. A non-partisan, but left leaning and anti-Trump group sprung up organically about 6 months ago and now has 200+ members. Even better, the response from drivers-by was overwhelmingly positive. I get discouraged too. Many of my friends here are apolitical but vote R because abortion or something. We don't talk politics. Getting together with other Democrats has kept me sane these last 3 years. The big thing, for me, is when I or others introduce closeted Democrats to our club. When they come to their first meeting and say, "I didn't know there were other Democrats here," it is everything. Tonight's rally, even though it was cut short by a really bad storm, leaves me with much hope.  |

13. That's a shame - your organizer shouldn't have said that.

In spite of the small population pool and the weather, people did show up, they rallied and got a good response. It was a win! Go you for being there! Thank you to you and your fellow citizens!

14. Focus on the good people, not the bad. The good outnumbers the bad, that's what matters.
