I don’t know. That’s why I said it’s so discouraging. It’s too late to vote our way out and too soon to start shooting.

I wish I had an answer.

Vote anyway. Get your ballot in as soon as you get it, and don't dilly-dally. Join your county's Republican central committee, go to their monthly meetings, and when they ask for volunteers, raise your hand. The way out of complacency and inaction is through action and enthusiasm.

Our forefathers went through HELL to formulate this country. Many died. Soldiers fought literally in their underwear with no shoes on in the cold winter. People were drawn and quartered. They starved. Men had their entire lives upended and rather than living their desired lives, wound up working for the rest of their lives to put together a government.

Now we may lose this country through our own complacency and inaction. The answer? Certainly not more complacency and inaction, Queen. When I got sober in 1987 I never thought I could do it, because getting and remaining sober is a challenge that is daunting beyond belief, but here I am 36 years later and still doing it day by day. No matter how lost things seem, we can always come back from it.

Sometimes problems seem overwhelming, but that is where attitude comes into play. We don't lay down to this. We don't sit in our recliners and grouse about it - we get up on our hind legs and get into action! You can do it, kiddo!
