I really hope that we’re going through extreme awfulness to result in some kind of cleansing. Anyway… that’s the thought that gets me through the day. (also tfg probably won’t live much longer so there’s that)
I'm still optimistic and hopeful we can get back to that place. As a Canadian, I know we have the support of most Americans going forward and the US has an ally till' the end.
I still remember listening to the radio at work that day as the ceremony took place. It was such a joyous, historic day. It’s such a contrast from the darkness and despair we’re falling into.
Hopefulness has a way of warming our hearts & our bodies. No amount of cold could snuff Obama’s flame. But let’s face it, it’s going to feel like 50 below this Monday, to match the stone-cold hearts of the new Regime.
I feel so much rage that a genius and good man like David Lynch passed away while Trump is still going strong.
Los Angeles, one of the most lovely places in the world, is burning while a bunch of rich a**holes are riding high in DC.
If I lived a million years, I'd never be able to understand it.
And ironically, those days were the genesis of the hellscape we find ourselves in now.
Let's not kid ourselves: The rise of the blatantly white supremacist MAGA movement is a reaction to the unspeakable indignity of seeing a black man in the Oval Office. All of it goes back to that.
I admit those were my transition days when I became a democrat. I never feared then that any candidate from any party was a threat to the world we lived in. Well… here we are and I am pretty damned scared.
Sadly we could have enjoyed that joy again had the corrupt, lying, election denying, treasonous conspiracy theorist, racist, rapist, twice impeached, convicted felon, narcissistic, dictator-wannabe, 🟠💩🤡 not won by way of propaganda & other shady influences from within & outside of our country...💔
We were there in the freezing cold with you! (we also went to his second inauguration). I agree with you: so much joy and hope. I’m just nauseous today thinking about all of this.
You got it right—women don’t just get shit done, they do it while cleaning up the mess left by men who thought 'alpha energy' meant golfing through a crisis. Bring it on!
I called my wife in Kenya- there were celebrations there then called her brother in North Carolina and the same energy permeated the streets. This will feel funereal but they are counting on our despair. Even notion Musk rigged election is geared towards our giving up- let us not capitulate
How wonderful that you attended Obama’s inauguration. What a beautiful event to attend. We have only one more day of democracy & freedom. I’m gonna make it a very special day. 💙
My 15 year old daughter got to go to Obama's inauguration, I was so excited that she was part of it. A celebration of where we had come! I am heartbroken that we have arrived here. 💔

His “ahem” insulation “fat” he wouldn’t get cold
I remember feeling so optimistic and hopeful about the world. I remember wishing that my mother was still alive to see it.
I remember hope.
I was there with my little grandson!
