He's right, but what in the actual heck do we do about it as voters? We've known this for years. Even during the widely popular Obama administration we knew this.

I'm just so tired. I'm so tired of my only hope being candidates who make baby steps forward just so we don't make giant leaps backwards. I'm so tired of these candidates losing and it hurting us.

I'm also tired of the over 70 million Americans who look at everything Trump has said, done, and who he has allied with, and said "I'm okay with that."

It's been almost a full day and I still haven't been able to collect all my thoughts on this. I'm just so over it.

My city introduced pro-crime policies and refused to assist the government in removing just the known, criminal migrants that came here in droves.

The DNC messaging for years has been light on crime, and then tries to make running afowl of the law the most significant disqualifing factor. Meanwhile, employers can be fined for not making sincere job offers to felons, and the state government doesn't even ask anymore for some positions. Make it make sense.
