First of all, if you are in it for the long haul, you will be able to handle setbacks more easily. If you are not, things can look very discouraging.

The ones I worry about on our side are the people who rush from a doomsday perspective to a “I have hope now because ____ is running for president” perspective.

America is great because we have a type of government with checks and balances.

Yes we need to be vigilant. But we also have to realize that the farther the pendulum is pushed to the left, the more momentum it has when it swings back our way.

And hopefully, we can time that swing for the first Tuesday in November!

Anyway, just my perspective.

Very good observation. I am a very impatient person by nature... in the sense that I just want to enjoy my life, family and faith. I think I need to realize that: "the damage done to the lawn this summer can be repaired the next... " and in turn I can learn how to cope with the elements better the next time.
