(3,327 posts)I agree with all that you said. It's a harrowing time. To me though, it is time to do what I can to go against the all is lost, because it isn't. To do that is to get sucked into the swirling river of dystopian ambiguity, chaos, and confusion, enabling division. It is allowing those who wish to destroy our hard won democracy to tear it down. We can't let them.
I am working as a precinct chair in my community, for our local Democratic Party. Our group met recently to organize a robust plan for mid-term elections and beyond. GOTV, contacting democratic voters, offering voter registration at community wide events in the general community, such as festivals, and speaking to high school students along with voter education programs.
Our state recently had the new, 2022 electoral maps by the States republican party, deemed illegally gerrymandered, in an appeal to the NC Supreme Court. Now they must be redrawn. There is good news, all the time, we have to embrace it and have hope.
