Keep in mind they want you to be discouraged, and while that is an appropriate feeling, don't let it lead to inaction...instead work on letting it motivate you to action, even if it's small actions like phone calls. Persons of color have been working for decades to get some degree of equality and freedom (so sad Black men gave the election to trump based don what most if not all analysts have said which has set back the cause for equality decades with the racism in the administration and the official stance that persons of color and women are not as qualified for anything as white men). I cannot imagine how discouraged slaves must have felt both before the Civil War and after when they were supposed to be "free" and then there were all the Jim Crow laws and now there is trump. Seems the fight for liberty and justice for all is never ending and requires a lot of folks in the fight. Jessica raven reported in her subtack Chop Wood Carry Water that there is a lot of movement..today's edition is a good read, and I found her comments about a new Indivisible chapter meeting was very encouraging.. Having said that I too feel a lot of discouragement and seem to go around with a knot in my stomach. With such little mainstream coverage of anything the Dems are doing it is hard to think they are doing nothing, but it seems some actually are.
There are a lot of people all over the world, like myself from Denmark, who are rooting for you and just wish we could help in some way. Believe that you're not alone. We stand with you!
Thank you so much for your kindness, not just in rooting for us but in letting us know! Of course seeing the outpouring of support from all over the world makes many of us want to move to one of these nations, but at least for now most of us are choosing to stay and fight! And believe me your encouragement means more that I can say!
