(58,785 posts)Let's hope the Obama effect will become a repellent of the toxic demoralizing messages that'll be aimed at them as they grow up, so that they'll expect and look for good people like him to vote for. They're always with us in the Democratic Party, but too many fall before the onslaught of lies.

(28,343 posts)I feel like so much has been lost and I'm now wondering if I should be fighting like hell to get even half of it back or spend my energy finding a way to get my daughter and granddaughter out of this once grand experiment that seems now determined to become a shithole country.

I don't know if we can claw our way back from where we are now.
