You engage in the elections.
And the opportunities across the nation are there.
It's possible that we have a blue wave.
That blue wave is caused by Trump and his excesses, but
also caused by the men and women of America going to the streets and getting involved in the election process.
So all across the country, in every state, we may be able to pick up states seats that we never thought possible.
because people are angry.
That's where you and I must engage.
And we simply have to, if that happens, if that scenario plays out, then what do we do?
Well, we may not be able to vote, but we can demonstrate.
We can be in the streets.
We can do what is legally and safely demonstrate.
We ought to be doing that now in anticipation of this.
The concern about Trump using the inspection act and stopping the election process, it could happen.
It could happen.
But that is a major, major step.
Keep in mind that during the Civil War, there were elections.
Now, the southern states were not allowed to vote because they had succeeded from the Union, and at that point were not part of our United States.
But the rest of the nation did vote, even in the Civil War, which was about as complex and dangerous as possible.
So never give up.
