Couple thoughts:
1.The Right knows this is their last stand. They’ll get another shot in 4yrs, but it won’t able to be this kind of naked play for relevance and power. It’s going to stay ugly and get worse for the next few months at least. Get tough and get used to it. /1

2.The more chaos there is between now and November, the better for Our Guy at the top. Violence is good for him. Don’t get sucked into it. You can beat him in the streets, but not with violence. /2
3.Try to vote in person. Try to do it early. Otherwise election night won’t be representative and ripe for spin. If you have to vote absentee, get it in early via non-USPS methods. If you have to mail it, mail it ASAP. /3
4.The people on the other side of things feel like your enemies. More now than ever. They may believe things that seem very bad and antithetical to your worldview. They might be bad people, but most of them are not. Most of them are joiners. Either used to a particular /4
way of life or they feel lost and boxed in and want a way out. Be resolute in your opinions but generous in spirit. Empathetic to people who seem hateful. Not weak to do that—as strong as you can be. Difficult and I don’t blame anyone who can’t manage it. I know I can’t always /5
5.Everything seems worse because there’s a pandemic and the economy sucks. It won’t last forever. The Great Depression was years, WWII was six years. People live through these kinds of times all over the world all the time. You can do it. We can do it. /end
