My Black Woman Response to the 2024 Election

Surprised/Shocked? Absolutely NOT!!

Sad/Disappointed? Not Really

Angry/Disgusted? A Little

Scared/Fearful? No, studying the playbook. They gave us their blueprint.

Our ancestors have been here before and experienced much worse. I saw the shift happening when Barack Hussein Obama ran for President and the Tea Party Movement was formed.

-The Republican machine functions as a machine because the goal is winning by any means necessary. You can’t fight a two-party system by ignoring the two-party system.

•Project 2025 was being implemented before we knew its name. (Book bans, etc.)

-LOCAL elections matter.

•Single issue and uninformed voters are a large demographic.

-The destruction of our education system was happening when a lot of children were left behind under No Child Left Behind.

•There is a huge disconnection from and ignorance of our history that must be addressed in this generation lest we keep repeating cycles.

We get to be anxious, sad, disgusted, perplexed…but we also have to REGROUP…soon!!

 The Democrats who are still in office need to play offense and defense.
