Even my district has a chance to flip and it has always (since its creation over 50 years ago) been held by Republicans.

Here's to hoping.

You'd think that with this much evidence getting rid of these characters would be a shoe-in, more than half the world can't believe what trump & co are getting away with here.

I trace this particular thing back to two specific items (1) 9/11 and (2) Barack Obama. The first made Muslims a never ending gift in terms of pushing the fear button and the second gave rise to overt racism by that contingent of the country that could not comprehend how a person-of-color managed to get into the most powerful spot in the country when they were still struggling. Between those two and some very nasty behind the scenes work by the Heritage Foundation and a bunch of fat cats suddenly we find ourselves with the world hanging in the balance. World War I started over much less.

Get out there and walk doors if you can. Even an introvert like me can do it. It doesn't really require any special training. Find your candidate and look up how to help.
