Re: Handwriting on the wall?
Those of us who live in safely Democratic districts can have an impact by working with groups like Flip The West (www.Flipthewest.com) and Vote Forward (https://votefwd.org/) to write postcards, phone or text voters in states like Iowa, Arizona, Alaska, Kentucky, Colorado and Maine to flip the Senate.
Re: Handwriting on the wall?
Having spent a lot of time in Alaska, one thing I know about Alaskan's is getting a postcard from "down there" asking them to vote or vote a certain way will be regarded with distain and have a counter effect. If you do decide to send Alaskans postcards put a Montana return address on it. They have a slightly less distain for Montanans.

America is over. If I were a younger person, I would leave. I predict, and hope that I am wrong, that our situation is likely to worsen.

Stay and keep on fighting! Eternal vigilance (and struggle) is the price of liberty!

Re: Handwriting on the wall?
I was pretty confident I wouldn't live to see the end of the world. I may have to revise that assessment.

Whatever happens, Django, I'm very sure the Earth will abide.
"The end of the world" as we know it? Very possibly, but that may also be a good thing if you think about it and if it means the end of H. sap..

that would have you, as an American, I mean, not as Shepherd.
There are lots of places that are objectively "better" than America, though as a concession to those die-hard patriots, I'll admit of course they're not better than America, because they're not America. OK?
Now whether moving to a place where you will always be an outsider has unexpected unsettling effects on you, is another question. That one seems to catch people by surprise.
