I have decided that joy isn't going to be stripped away from me!

[imanamerican63]

We’re down to a month and a half before we get to say “goodbye to the convicted felon & and take your cronies with you”!

We can’t be distracted in any way by this nonsense. Everything from eating pets to attempted assassinations. He can’t win the narrative anymore! It’s time we take back the country and the constitution!

I am not going to listen to the news about the felon. He is going to lie about everything anyway!

So, it’s joy, joy, joy from now until the election! Put on your happy face and plow forward to the election! We can do this!

1. i agree.. i immediatly turn the channel or turn the media off if anything trump

[Think. Again.]

2. I'm with you, no more of the distractions, GOTV!

3. We're now at the place Michelle warned about in her epic speech.

We have to keep focusing on the end goal.

4. Two video clips to help you stay on track: "I'm Happy" by Pharrell Williams, and "I'm Tacky" by Weird Al.

5. You got it. It's just not easy maintaining that joy.

The sheer joy and laughter I felt during and after the convention was wonderful. I’m just having trouble maintaining it. But at least it’s not the drag through the muck thanks to trump before Kamala. She and Walz are truly wonderful. I just have to concentrate on them and keep my joy level up.

9. In honor of Philly's own Frankie Beverly (who just passed) and Maze - "Happy Feelins"

And of course they were also known for this -

10. friend of mine either turns the channel or hits mute on the remote .

[llmart]

13. That's what I do also.

When "It" was in office I did that and thought after he lost in 2020 that I'd never have to do that again, but here we are.

11. I find my joy a little fettered

by concern that trump's minions will hurt Harris and/or Walz. Donnie is not getting any traction with the staged assassination attempts, and it worries me he will turn next to taking out his opponent.

I know the general feeling here is that he needs to stay alive to finally be held accountable for his crimes, but personally, I would prefer he no longer walked the earth to threaten lives.

12. I woke up in the middle of the night freaking out about Dump...

I fell asleep. I awoke from a dream with Kamala and Tim in a community filled public space with laughter, calm, and joy! That made my day! Love over fear wins!
