I'm so very sorry for your personal losses.

I agree that the numbers seem "off" based on the perceived enthusiasm going into this election. At the same time, and maybe this is because I live in a very red area, I will never underestimate the level of misogyny and racism in this country, even amongst those who are our supposed allies.

I have no answers, just like I had no answers for my children, one in her 20's and one in his mid-teens, on Wednesday morning. All I know is that we have to find a way to come together, lean on each other, support our community, and regroup fast for the fight we have ahead of us.
