It'll be Mardi Gras, Cinco de Mayo, Fourth of July and Christmas all at once.
Then peace will guide the planets. And love will steer the stars.

Im sure there will be a lot of people out on city streets celebrating. I’d just be worried about the gun wingnuts after they see their dear leader ousted.

We heal by making healthcare a right. By progressive taxation. A better public education system. Legalizing marijuana. All paper ballot and a new voting rights act. Comprehensive immigration reform with nothing short of full amnesty. Grab guns. Top to bottom prison reform.

We heal by winning and keeping our focus on the most vulnerable among us. We heal by using this same level of energy to push positive change once we have power.

Don’t stop protesting if we win the house and senate.

we won't have much of a government left. The Prez, the VP, Ryan, McConnell,
most of the cabinet, and a great many in Congress.
It's quite unnerving to me. Who will be in charge?
Chaos may well be in our future.

It's hard to imagine the Republicans, who have thus far remained silent, will be able to calm them down.

Hopefully a house rental on the beach with a bunch of family. Shutting off all devices, no internet and not watching any news. And sleep, lots of sleep.

To their neighbors in large public meetings.

I suggest something similar...all trump voters have to confess their foolishness, racism, etc

Only by proving how evil Trump is in a way the MAGA crowd cannot deny, can we begin the process of healing.
