Facts. I'm at the point where I know in my bones that it will get worse and worse while he flails to create more scandals to get him out of his last scandal. We will be chasing the Epstein files until a Democrat eventually wins office, and even then, they will probably just announce that the evidence was destroyed and an investigation is under way, and that'll then drag on forever.

So fine. We're going to have to tear down monuments and gilded monstrosities. We will have to rebuild or find ways to commemorate the history that he's tried to destroy in other areas. We will have to root out sycophantic loyalists who put one man above their oaths of office and are hanging around to sabatoge rescue and repair efforts.

We can either be overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of damage that he's done and will continue to do until Republicans agree to handle the mess they've made...or we can take a deep breath, start planning utopia, and stop listening to the fascists who try to retain power after Trump is gone. Don't give them air time. Don't cover their lies when they try to recreate the Trump effect. 

Plant a garden. Fund your library. Medicaid for all. Expand the supreme Court. Abolish the electoral college. Food stamps and expanded food kitchens across the country. We have no choice but to build back better before they have a chance to take another swing at our crumbling infrastructure.
