I found the problem to be Democrats in general who had the wrong notion that everything would be just fine, that the Democrats who understood what was happening were called doom and gloomers.

I listened to a man on TV a couple of days ago who wrote a book about autocracies. He stated never listen to people who say that everything will be OK because of A B or C. He also said never listen to anyone who has just come on board in the last 3 months.

Nice to see that Chuck Schumer has come on board and do what he should have done last March. I hope it works out seeing as shutting down the government now will be much harder to justify than it would have been last March when the horses were still in the barn.

I'm fine with fighting now seeing as I was fine with fighting back in March, good to see more people get on board.
