When you succumb to the cynicism, you are helping Trump. He wants you to think that all is lost, that he is all powerful, and that there is nothing we can do.
The fight for democracy is hard, but it is worth having. We have shown we can stand tall. We have shown we can win.

Many of you have become drama-addicted doomers, and you seem to think it's important for the rest of us to join you.
Yes, things are bad. But change is within our power. Grow up. Act like sober, responsible adults in a democracy instead of cynical, all-is-lost teenagers.
Now get off my lawn.
