16. I hear you, loud and clear.

I came here to suggest "humor" and "ridicule" as a way forward, but only because I feel like you do -- pretty hopeless. The right-wingers are getting exactly what they've voted for, and yet they still demonize us for their problems.

I too have done what I could locally, and thought I would leave the country if the cretin ever got back into power. But then came cancer, and a grandchild, both surprises.

I'm furious, worried, scared for my daughter and granddaughter in a vicious cycle that doesn't end - it goes back to furious that ANYone could have not voted for Harris, or any other Democrat. No staying home or voting another way for supposed 'conscience' !!

I escape, and come back... It's frustrating. If there's a support group, I'm right there with you.
