Excellent information. To many folks have no concept of how things work.
There is a large strain of defeatism that has overtaken a lot of Deplorables, and I totally get it. We had a pandemic, shutdowns, riots, election shenanigans, vaccine hysteria and an OSHA mandate/test-out "option." And I'm not Pollyanna- there are PLENTY of bad things out there.
But on top of the 6-3 OSHA smackdown, we just got three totally bitchin' SCOTUS opinions - Dobbs, NY State, EPA - and the wind is at our backs in terms of primary wins. The economy may turn down, but that's normal. And we will bounce back, as we 4% always do -it's in our DNA. FINALLY, I've seen TexasGurl24 go right at the Eeyors...it's great fun.
But based on some attitudes, you'd think it was 1979 and Carter was in charge (those were REALLY dark days, kids) or Hillary beat Trump in 2016 (that WOULD have been advanced darkness).
I'm sure SamAdams76 is sick of me saying it, but he reallly summed it perfectly when he said he went to bed election night 2016 feeling like he had terminal cancer, and woke up like he was in full remission. We have come too far as a nation, and I've seen too many buzzer beaters to give up, or give in to the Defeaticans.
Your mileage may vary. Thanks for listening.
