"By 'exhausted,' I don’t mean sick and tired. Or bored. Or annoyed. I mean the kind of weariness that sits down deep, in your bones, because you’re carrying a burden that you long to lay down."
Not me, baby! I'm more fired up than in my half century of voting. Here's the irony: if you weighed all the issues equally, I'd be voting mostly red - though not for Trump; he lost my vote long before I knew here he stood on any issue. But one issue outweighs all the others combined, and ought to for every voter: keeping the Republic (per Franklin's warning). Those who think we're overreacting - I would have just a few years ago - are not paying attention. I read enough from the MAGA propaganda "bubble" and can vouch that they're no longer even trying to pretend that their goal is anything less than destroying the Republic. For all their whining about the "liberal media" they're really saying the same thing, differing only in "spin." So it'll be straight blue in '24. Then, maybe, in '28 I'll be free to vote red again. Though never for anyone who has enabled or protected Trump.
I'm seriously glad someone is. I need a mental break. We are not rerunning one race. We are rerunning two. This all started almost 10 years ago and I'm tired.
On a bad day I think the US was mortally wounded in the '16 GOP primary (I voted for Kasich). But if I give up the determination to stop the MAGA cult, I'd be giving them just what they want. Oh, most of them would eventually regret it, but too late.

The fact that all the old Republicans that knew better seem to have caved in to the cult is so disappointing.
I’m with you 100 percent 🙏
