Unpopular opinion: a thread. We are setting ourselves up for disappointment. Do you remember how you felt the day after Trump won? I do. I cried for 6 weeks. 1/8

Even when we get the entire Mueller report, there is no reason to think that anything will change.
Mueller will not save us.
The SDNY will not save us.
The Constitution will not save us.
The Democratic Party will not save us.

The Constitution does not enforce itself. The
@GOP is compromised from top to bottom and has gerrymandered its way to an almost unbreakable hold on power. 5/8Show this thread -
There will continue to be around 40% of the country who will not turn on Trump *no matter what the repost says*. The Democratic Party leadership has already ruled out impeachment, and even if they did impeach and remove, we would have Pence. 6/8

We are the only ones who can save ourselves, our country, and our democracy. Do you understand that? Do you understand what needs to be done? I fear that there are not nearly enough people who are clear-eyed enough to understand this, to understand the work that must be done. 7/8

Don’t set yourself up for disappointment. Don’t wait on a savior. Go back to doing the hard work, registering voters, block walking for good candidates, running for office. Take nothing for granted. We’ve got a hard 2 years ahead, and *nothing* is guaranteed. 8/8
