A story in two parts

I predicted back in the winter of this year that if the election happened, Trump would basically be garanteed a win, with the american economy shattering because of it.
For example, the republican party has some of the most idiotic energy plans ive ever seen, probably conducted by some representatives 5 year old kid.
Go to their goddamn website, the entirety of their campaign cause seems to be buying oil and closing down every single fucking renewable power generator. For no reason at all. Just because "oil is it!", ye ol’ reliable. Yes. Destroy all* renewable power plants. Because oil is easy.
-Like the sellers of the oil wouldnt jack the price up like hell to make money off the newly oil reliant United states of bullshit.
-Like just running the renewables as well wouldnt simply save you a fuck ton of money. NO THEY NEED TO BEGONE! But well, that prediction doesnt seem as plausable anymore, which is…good
Well. Apparently I was much more stressed about the election than I thought because I watched this and started crying.
I forgot what it was like to have actual charismatic politicians campaign. I know we talk a lot about parasocial relationships with them, but one of the things successful leaders do is inspire their people.
We have not had much to be inspired about. Biden is the unflavored tofu of the political world. I was going to do my duty, but nothing beyond that.
Watching other people be hype about her? So hype a majority of the people on ActBlue are first time donors? That 40K Zoom call? (They held another one for Black men and there were 20K on that.)
That fucking means something.
She doesn't have it in the bag (and honestly I'll be anxious until it's over), but I feel like we have a much better chance than before Biden bowed out.
In a lot of liberal/leftist circles there is this unspoken expectation that Black women will do the work because it is necessary but backbreaking. And sometimes I think non-Black people understand and are grateful. But also a lot don't and aren't.
With that in mind, I am absolutely serious when I say I think Kamala Harris might prevent the US from falling to fascism.
