With Kennedy retiring, and the prospect of a new Trump nominee, things are looking very dire. He really screwed us. I couldn't even process the shock at first and just needed to get away from the internet for a while. Democrats can't filibuster anymore so we have to somehow get some Republicans to vote against confirming a new justice; if they're anything like our Texas senators, than that's going to be a lost cause.
And yet, I have to believe that we can somehow fight on, with public protests and voting in the midterms so we can at least reclaim Congress. Otherwise you're only left with futility and paralysis. Or lots of people vowing to move to Canada, but that leaves behind everyone who can't go and need help. Gotta find a path through Mueller or someone else that can bring an end to this destruction. Just hope it's not actual war with North Korea.
