I do feel, though, that there are huddled rooms all around the country where they are yelling and plotting, and feeling ALIVE even though their work is pure evil.
What can you do but remain steadfast? What can God ask of any of us but that we do our best to remain faithful?
In order to see the beautiful, you must see the ugly. In order to see truth, you have to understand falsehood like the back of your hand.
This is all good. I feel like we passed a Rubicon of sorts last week. The energy changed. A spell broke, for many.
I read that some Republicans are cheering because so many people are #walkingaway. Some Democrats are saying “I have never seen this level of engagement.”
Both narratives can be equally true. I suspect, though, that the high Democrat engagement is happening in places where there were already a lot of Democrats. Added energy adds little, if they were going to win anyway.
To my mind, far more significant are the seemingly large numbers of people who are abandoning the Democrats because they have become nakedly ugly. I have never seen anything like the Walk Away movement in my lifetime, in either direction. The Democrats are walking on thin ice, which is already cracking in many places.
We will see. We will see.
