It's up to us, the people, to fight back

While there are many Governors, AGs, Judges, and Congress members fighting hard to protect us, there are also some who aren't. Maybe those some aren't affected. Maybe they're burned out. I don't know. But we hold the power and we all need to think about that when we vote. And this holds even more true for those who don't vote at all. This is no savior out there. We have to all collectively do our part. It's terrifying that we even got to this point.

We need to vote for people who are going to fight against what is happening, and tune out and dismiss the fourth Estate who aren't fulfilling their role. The fourth estate has seriously let us, the people, down.

People are fed up. The pendulum is going to swing. Even those who are burned out and are tuning out are going to want their voice heard eventually.

People are angry. Many of our Representatives and members of the media aren't grasping just how much anger is out there. It's simmering and has't reached the boiling point yet, but it will.
