Lori Uhland, right, hugs Debra Tsampas, who dressed as the Statue of Liberty, at Sen. Bernie Sanders’ Fighting Oligarchy rally Monday at the Cross Insurance Arena in Portland. Uhland said she grew up in New Jersey and saw the Statue of Liberty often when riding the ferry. She asked to hug Tsampas because they both got slightly emotional when speaking. “That is why we’re all here,” Uhland said. “Our liberty is being yanked away from us.” (Brianna Soukup/Staff Photographer)

We had MASSIVE rallys with Kamala and Tim....

And we still got trounced.

It's going to take something extraordinary to turn around the fascist takeover of America.
If it's even possible at this point.

and unwavering persistence. A lot of previously disinterested and uninvolved people are waking up to what the threats are, there will be no going back to sleep.

Anyone who has thus far not been affected by this regime's policies will be in the near future. Unless you are very wealthy or deranged, there will be no ignoring the draconian effects of those policies.

Of course, nothing will ever be the same again and there undoubtedly will be a lot of pain and loss, but hopefully we can build something better from the wreckage.
