What drives you to keep going on in this polarized society?
What gets you out of bed each morning?
Some people say defending our republic motivates them to get up in the morning to fight for our freedoms.
Some people roll out of bed, pull on a red MAGA cap each morning and gladly donate their last dollar to pay a former twice-impeached President and billionaire's legal bills.
Families are finding themselves stranded in red and blue ideological battles that all seem inevitably pointed towards another civil war.
Americans live with the understanding that we have more mass shootings than any other industrialized country in the world. Most say despite that they wouldn't live in any other country.
If one thing is true about Americans, we are resilient and somehow overcome what sometimes seems to be insurmountable challenges. We've managed to overcome wars and pandemics, always moving bravely forward.
To many, me included, this year is full of challenges like we've never seen before. A rogue former president who failed in a coup attempt to regain office is now the Republican candidate for president in November.
Like it or not we're teetering on a pre-apocalyptic moment in American history where the future of the nation is at stake.
Trump has openly declared his fascist agenda and millions of his followers are already practicing their "goose stepping" for political rallies and a future dictatorship.
Political pundits say President Biden and Trump are neck-and-neck in the polls... but I don't believe that. It's just too early in the race to make that claim. Media organizations are feasting on election data and opinions for the nightly news.
What if Trump is convicted for felonies prior to the election?
What happens if he doesn't satisfy the court in New York and post bond in 10 days?
What about the other court cases in three different jurisdictions?
No one knows what's going to happen between now and when we make a trip to cast our ballots. Instead, we just need to push forward with our lives and follow our hearts.
As it Stands, for a brighter future Vote Blue in November.
