Who else believed, while you were watching January 6th unfold [View all]

that this was not the end of a movement, but could be the beginning of a very, very difficult time for our country. The amount of passion and violent enthusiasm based on provable lies, misinformation, religious fervor and hatred I witnessed on that day caused me great concern. In the pit of my stomach I felt that the nation had reached a point of no return. I tried to deny what my gut and instincts were telling me after Biden took the oath of office, but after November 5th, 2024 I believe my initial feelings were correct all along. Although I haven’t lost hope that we can correct course and reclaim our democracy, I do believe that for the sane amongst us, this is the fight of our lives.
