Virginia will be having their gubernatorial election this November. My District has a Republican Delegate that I wish to be defeated as well. I trust this backlash will hold until then. I can't say what will happen in 2022, but I'm liking your prediction bigly!

I do hope your predictions come true. You have outlined reasonable possibilities that may well take place. Now, I feel more optimistic about the future. I, for one, do not fear "the awakened giant" of citizens with a promising resolve.

I know it's illusory, but it certainly feels like some weird form of kharmic salvation. First, the hideous practice of fracking saved the nation from economic and energy bankruptcy, and now this could possibly save us from fascism. From your pen to the ears of any deity you like, TC. Thank you for a very encouraging analysis.

Yes TC- the Texas restrictions to women’s’ ability to control their pregnancies is a horrible sign of the Talibanish trend the repugs aspire to.

One can only hope. But I do like the dog catching the car metaphor. This single issue will way overshadow the fraudulent election nonsense. Now I can go to sleep. It is midnight (in the garden of good and evil).

You are absolutely correct about the silence of the GOP -- it's almost deafening! Thank you for this hopeful analysis!

Thank you, TC, for being a revival of journalistic light. I believe it is how mobilization of a sleeping giant starts. Catching up on posts everywhere has been like turning on my lava lamp of the past.
