posts several times thinking the vote was over. One long End of the World one in particular made me radiant with optimism.

The U.S. is not going to be a dictatorship, Kavanaugh is going down in flames, as is Trump. Democrats will eventually be in a position to try to clean up Republicans' mess, everyone will forget what happened or get mad it isn't being done fast enough, refuse to vote to teach Democrats a lesson, Republicans gain power again and start the wreckage again, and the cycle continues. Or does it?

Please, tell us what work can be done about this confirmation. unitedwethrive Sep 2018 #1
