Michael Cohen - Only We Decide When It's Over

Let me be blunt—because that’s how I roll: if you’re watching the chaos unfold in this country and thinking, “Well, that’s it. America’s toast,” you need to get a grip.
Seriously.

Yes, things look bleak. Yes, the country feels like it’s cracked straight down the middle—a fault line separating truth from conspiracy, democracy from authoritarian cosplay, and sanity from whatever unhinged circus is running out of the White House this week. But don’t confuse the noise with the outcome. Don’t mistake the madness of a moment for the destiny of a nation.

Because here's the thing: America’s story isn’t over—not unless we decide it is.

That’s right. We the People. Not the man in the Oval. Not those in Congress. Not some robe-wrapped Supreme Court Justice with a billionaire sugar daddy. Not the fascist cosplayers marching with tiki torches or driving cars into crowds of protesters. The fate of this republic isn’t in the hands of the extremists—unless we give it to them.
And I, for one, am not handing over the keys.
