TBH. My worry is more with defeating Trumpism than Trump at this point. I do think we can retake Congress this fall and I do think Trump can be defeated in 2020. My concern? Creating a 2021-25 America where someone like Trump can’t rise again. The most frustrating thing for me to realize is that our progress made under Obama is what really awoke these reactionary forces within our society. And you know what, they’re not going to die out with older generations. My generation has them too.

They’re a minority. A substantial minority, unfortunately—more substantial than I really thought—but a minority. The problem is, they always vote. Getting our people to vote was always like pulling teeth, but now there are all sorts of extra obstacles in their way.

If the tRump tError can motivate younger people to go jump through all the hoops and vote, maybe…no, it’ll never be worth it, but maybe that can compensate a little.
