That Morning - The Lincoln Project

[TexasTowelie]

We didn’t know on that November day in 2016 how much damage Trump would cause our nation.

1. I was under anesthesia having my boobs removed

Mastectomy. But the margins were clear and after chemotherapy and 7 years of medication, I am cancer and Trump free. I intend to stay that way.

6. I love it when real life mimics real life. You may have my Karma reserves. May you stay cancer free on both levels.

2. Wonderful ad

3. Well...

Maybe WE didn't know but I sure did.

I knew my life was going to be increasingly difficult and that I might not survive it. I remember my roomie at the time trying to calm me down, it didn't work.

Now I feel like I'm waiting for a crucial diagnosis that tells me whether I live or die for the next four years.

17. I sure did know as well, and in fact all summer

- once Brexit passed- knew he would win. But none of the urban liberals would listen to any of us who live in T dominated rural areas. But we all knew by how excited his followers were.

And how happy they have been to be the big bullies everywhere after. They are still flexing their muscles. But, I sense a change in the direction of the tide.

We shall see if I am reading this accurately.

Hang in there, let’s all hold on for each other. I cannot survive T “winning”. Many of my close friends did not survive it.

4. What Scares me is we still haven' t ABOLISHED that Electoral College CHEAT; that republican use every time.

7. I remember that morning awakening with my wife to a call from

my thirty-something grandson. He's the only trumper I know in our family. He's not real radical about it, but he's a one issue voter only concerned about the economy. He was giddy with laughter and somewhat of the belief that we would have embraced Trump and see things his way since Trump was elected. He couldn't have been more wrong.

The funny thing is, since Biden was elected, he has started a business repairing motorcycles. It has been wildly successful, and he's recently hired his second mechanic. He will probably vote for Trump again, but since November 2016, whenever people enter his home, he forbids all talk about politics. He knows he can't win, but right now we are living in a manufactured granny unit on is property and otherwise getting along just fine.

9. I was working 2nd shift at the YMCA.

After it became clear tsf had "won", I told a friend that it would take 20 years to undo the damage that sick f**k would do to the country. I keep underestimating the chaos these right-wing wackos will unleash on the American people. When Bush Jr was appointed by daddy's friends on the Supreme Court, I told a friend that the country was strong and he couldn't do much damage in four years. That was the second worst mistake I've ever made.

18. I remember thinking, we'll be feeling this the rest of my life

NOTHING positive about it, NOTHING

10. Wish that ad could be

Broadcast everywhere.

11. The worst year 2016

I had 2 months of vertigo, then got shingles. In July I found out I had lung cancer. While recovering in the hospital, I watch the debate. Of all the things that happened to me that year, Trump winning was the worst. We can not let that happen again. I am now cancer free.

19. you go girl!

welcome to DU, you have a home here

[Farmer-Rick]

12. We trust American women

"To make decisions about their own bodies and not have their government tell them what to do." That in a nut shell is what's wrong with the Supremes blowing up Roe v. Wade.

American women today have fewer rights then what their grandmother's had.

Strong, strong statements on why we all must vote against pedo Trump.

[Skittles]

20. abortion should NOT be a political issue AT ALL

it's just fucking sickening how repukes try to control women, ENOUGH ALREADY

[jayschool2013]

13. Great ad NFM

[Earthrise]

14. I wept the night of the election. All I could say to my husband was, "People will die."

I didn't provide any specifics - people died in many ways - but that was all I could think of.

[Botany]

15. Come on women and those that love 'em vote mother fuckers

Powerful spot. Trump needs crushed by >20 million votes.
