The death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a cruel and terrible blow. But reading a lot of the comments about her death and its impact has me genuinely upset.
NO, it does NOT mean that Trump “will add several points to his total”.
NO, it does NOT mean that “Trump will win now”.
I left the Dark Side permanently about 1991. I was a Republican for many years until I realized that the right-wingers don’t give a damn about anyone but the people at the top. I became a part of this community early on, lurking in 2002, joining up in 2003. I’m #2138. I’ve been here a while.
But g-d damn it, one thing I’ve noticed is that way too many Democrats have too much “quit” in them. Most of them don’t, but too many do.
You think I don’t understand?
You think I’m not grieving this terrible loss?
You think I don’t know what despair is?
BUT I DON’T JUST SURRENDER AND GIVE UP, AND I HOPE NONE OF YOU DO EITHER. I GET OFF THE DAMN FLOOR. HOW ABOUT YOU?
I’m going to fight even harder.
I’m gonna send more postcards.
I’m gonna spam harder on social media.
I’m gonna give more money.
I’M GONNA WORK MY PROUD DEMOCRATIC ASS OFF TO HELP US WIN THIS YEAR.
And I don’t give a fuck if the Republicans think they’ve got this won now.
THEY DON’T.
Now, let’s come together as a team, and win this one.
For Ruth.
