A viewer called in feeling hopeless. That’s exactly what Donald Trump wants.

You still have a voice. You still have a vote. You need to use it.

I can't remember where I saw it, but I remember someone said, "Things will never be the way they were. We have to accept that and get to work." And imo, we SHOULDN'T go back to how things were. That's why we're here now. We have to build a better future, not restore the past.

Beautifully put question and great answer.

savvycammom.bsky.social•12 days ago

We are all having those feelings right now. But you have to get up and say, "Nope, not today" and put it in the drawer for later.

That woman has no community, we can feel it in her voice... 💔

April 5th...The date for a mass protest that makes the Republican Cult shit their pants. Get your ass out there in the streets with your fellow patriots.

henleyparker.bsky.social•12 days ago

Exactly!

bettybordeaux8888.bsky.social•12 days ago

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Whatever your goal is in life, work towards it, one small step at a time, a little bit every day. You can fight @orangefacewithyellowwiginthewind one. Every day, ask yourself, what can I do today to counter his plans. You might think it's pointless....

bettybordeaux8888.bsky.social•12 days ago

But you are hundreds of millions of Americans to want to oppose to this Hitler wannabe, so do, don't ever give up !!!!

I think we still have a decent chance to have a nation again using nonviolent means.

And No, I cannot prove that to be true. So out of fairness, I wrote an open letter assuming that the resistance and the nation utterly fails. But maybe the dream does not.

dashjam.bsky.social•12 days ago

The black people in this country felt hopeless at times, but kept going. If we don't believe, we can't go on. We need to for everyone else.

Of course boycott all the billionaire oligarchy owned, & supporting businesses too, especially the musk owned companies asap, & as long as possible. Yes, this is hard, but do as much of it as you can. Get off X

hmrhoward.bsky.social•12 days ago

We boycott all the Heritage Foundation (project 2025) supporting businesses as soon as possible, as long as possible!

quancy.bsky.social•12 days ago

Sadly, many Americans still think ... the right to marry who you want, decide what to do with your body, find a place to live, get a job, worship how you please, get a pension based on your work history ... were entitlements or guaranteed by the Constitution.

Surprise!! 😮

Yes, hope carries so much more water than despair… despair is an empty vessel of the defeated those that have given up. I choose not to walk with him in fact, I oppose them and look for comrades in arms of liberty.

henleyparker.bsky.social•12 days ago

@brenebrown93.bsky.social wrote this after the election, it was the first thing I read that brought comfort and validation. I still can’t read it without sobbing.

cwentker.bsky.social•12 days ago

I’ll feel hopeful when I see a Democrat or Independent show some leadership!! Someone’s got to step up soon or we are done as a democracy.

joolietoots.bsky.social•11 days ago

Not somebody EVERYBODY.
A drop of water does nothing. A tsunami however is powerful. Find something YOU can join in your community. Go do it and recruit someone else who is feeling the same way.
For the first time in my life I am going to volunteer for our upcoming election.

I actually started tearing up because I thought that was me calling in and asking you the Sam question. I feel so terribly down right now, but your message brought me hope. Thank you ❤️

We’ll get through this. Together. 🤝

We will never stop fighting for our democracy, rights and what is right and legal period!!!

sconniegurl.bsky.social•12 days ago

It’s ok to feel how we feel. Some days are like that. I want to repost this link. I loved seeing small actions for when I need to feel how I feel. Hope this helps some of you. https://choosedemocracy.us/what-can-i-do/

motherjuggler.bsky.social•12 days ago

We also need to take care of ourselves by doing things that create hope and joy in our lives. This way we recharge our batteries. Gives us more energy to fight again.

sidequestann.bsky.social•12 days ago

Yes to this. 💯

Trump will just pardon him.

williamladislaw.bsky.social•10 days ago

Why is Musk-rat risking his reputation for Donald Trump? 🤷‍♂️ It is completely stupid on his part. Everybody should know and will see how Trump can even ruin the richest man in the world while he comes out still a big winner.

daddylea.bsky.social•12 days ago

He is BRAKING the LAW..

yaakoveesh.bsky.social•12 days ago

Great work Keith keep up the good fight. 💙✊️💙

ordeadhead.bsky.social•12 days ago

Musk knew it wasn't legal. He put out the offer to get people to vote for Brad Schimel, full well knowing he'd never actually hand out any checks.

healyrivers.bsky.social•12 days ago

Thank you for being a light in this darkness. For telling the truth when it seems like so many have just abandoned any semblance of it.

airdriel.bsky.social•12 days ago

Feeling helpless? Get out and do something. We started a community garden. It really helps our emotional state.

moralsbeforemoney.bsky.social•12 days ago

I feel their pain… I feel so hopeless… it gets worse when you think it’s rock bottom

henleyparker.bsky.social•12 days ago

I’m sorry you’re feeling hopeless. 💔 I felt hopeless for weeks after the election. Doing something helped pick me off the ground

Donate and phone bank for @crawfordforwi.bsky.social (no matter where you live) ⬇️

Everyone I’ve called has been really nice and thanked me 😊

Thank you, Henley. Your actions are priceless... I am so hopeful that Susan Crawford will win and Elon will continue to feel what he has sown throughout the world. People are tired of him... and what he represents... he's a nepo-baby that can never cope with how unimportant he truly is.

henleyparker.bsky.social•11 days ago

Thank you! I am hoping she wins and it also represents we are sick of him!

mathendeavors.bsky.social•12 days ago

I fully understand and empathize with the caller's sentiment. Thank you, Keith, for your extremely powerful and thoughtful answer. It gives me a lot of hope.

The next Dem president will have their hands full... that's for sure.

maverickhammed.bsky.social•12 days ago

Thank you Keith that was really good to hear something like that from you... I have been also feeling quite helpless.

suzylaineoc.bsky.social•12 days ago

I'm 65. I just retired. I'm wealthy. I'm marching for me and those less fortunate than me on April 5th. It is now my job. Hands Off!!

henleyparker.bsky.social•12 days ago

Thank you for sharing!

suzylaineoc.bsky.social•12 days ago

Laguna Beach Democrats are posting to Bluesky. This is awesome. I hope all in the area follow.

Don't despair, Lori. You aren't alone in your feelings OR in this fight. We have your back! And remember....

mullinshere.bsky.social•12 days ago

Well pointed out. And we are doing these things TOGETHER. America is coming together in ways it hasn't done for a very long time, even with the intra-party disputes. It may be community-level now, but that's how it translates electorally. And - I still hold out, there are more of us than of them.

…. and shrink the middle class. Look at all the attacks and take-aways on middle class since Jan 20th; higher ed, SS, Medicare, prices of everything is, or will be, going up, market loses (IRA/401ks), etc. The great money shift to upper class is happening.

megladonn.bsky.social•12 days ago

Well spoken @keithedwards.bsky.social 👏👏👏

delnicki.bsky.social•12 days ago

Nature has given us a precious gift of anger, aggression. We have this great gift to give us energy to improve our (and our childrens') lives. Hopelessness binds this precious energy and turns it against ourselves, which is not what it was made for.

Stand up, Sister.Throat punch if necessary. 💪
