      Many people said they would have done more to prevent Trump's election if they thought it could happen, but is that true? I'd like to test.

          And now I don’t know. I do many emails and petitions a week, and tweet most of them, but I also delete some. Can I have that luxury? /6

          After Trump’s election, it looked like enough states that my tiny contribution wouldn’t have made a difference. True? I’ll never know.

          Am I entitled to focus on my work, my family? In 30 years, will I regret not having manned the battlements more?

          As for Trump, weird: I always hated and feared him, and I voted for and donated to HRC, but I never really stared at a future of Trump. /5

          I was singleminded, driven. And I got it done, at no small expense. But since then, I’m still terrified abt climate change, but 3/
