At this time I can't afford to be a paid subscriber but I support you at least emotionally 100%. I live in Missouri and all my members of congress supported the Jan 6 violence and pretty much laugh in my face when I call to voice my concerns but I hope that by supporting others in other districts I can help effect change. Thank you for your service.
Hi Pat, I live in Missouri too! I too call and email Hawley the Coward despite knowing he is laughing in my face. We can't quit! We can vote out these despicable cowards in 2026.
I'm not quitting but I am also a realist. I live in Jason Smith's district, southeast MO and he did not even have to campaign, much like Hawley and he knows there is no way he will ever be voted out. My county is about a 99% trump area. But I still remind my MOCs that there is that 1% and we will be working to get a Democratic majority in 2026 by helping in other areas that have a high likelihood of flipping form red to blue.
It's challenging for sure but as I said I think/hope we can create change by donating to campaigns in districts where there is a good chance of flipping either to blue or at least to a non maga goper (there might be lots of them, maybe Cheney and Kinzinger can lead that way on that front). I just need direction from a reliable source about what those races are and the best way to help. Let's hang in here together and work hard and smarter than last time! I called Murkowski and Collins and thanked them for their vote against Hegseth. I expect Murkowski to stand up for a losing cause but not Collins, or at least she might because she knows he will win any so her vote doesn't count and her true leader trump will prevail, but she can tell her constituents she did not vote for him.
I live in a blue state but we certainlly have many red areas. Right before the election, I was out for a few drinks with friends and we were talking about our fear that the election could go the wrong way. A guy nearby - with his wife looking uncomfortable - suddenly got up to leave and yelled at us that Trump would prevail - couldnt hear most of it but he was pissed off that we were clearly strong Democrats.
Never had this happen in my life in this blue city. Still - it's not my daily experience by any stretch.
it made me think more about how hard it must be to as a liberal person in a deeply red area. It must be so isolating. One may have to watch ones words in social situations - and more.
Are there any special groups online for people in this situation? Of course, there are many good substacks. I was just thinking all of us should be doing more to support our likeminded friends who may feel voiceless in their cities and towns.
No need to apologize, Officer Dunn. I believe I speak for everyone here when I say that I knew exactly what you meant to say. And thank you so much for actually reading our comments!!! You are the Best!
Harry you are one of my heroes. I am retired but I am a County Democratic Party Chairman and what we need is young people willing to be involved and help us! Next time you speak.... please remind those who listen their local parties like mine all need help in the coming Mid-Terms. I was one of the 1st to donate to your campaign, but I am limited because I'm on a fixed income. Thank you for all you've done and still doing! God Bless you.
We will not quit. Don't be worried about that. This is no time to be apathetic. We need each other and other like minded people to fight this mentally incompetent scourge. I supported you when you ran for Maryland rep. Unfortunately, that was not meant to be at that time. But, we need folks like you to fight for us. We will not surrender to authoritarianism.
There's no words to express my sorrow at the horrible tragedy that has occurred. I've cried so many tears in the last two months but now I'm get organized. I'm not afraid of those who would do these kinds of things. I will stand up to these bullies even though may kill me.
I will never quit. There is not a single person who voted for Donald Trump who can say they didn’t know any of the bullshit that happens during this term that they didn’t know what it was going to happen ha! As an American, I am ashamed that we elected this animal this rapist president again. We are the world’s laughing stock. Donald Trump has proven. He is a criminal. He cannot be trusted. He should be in jail. Excuse me, not jail prison.
I won’t quit. I’m paying attention and writing letters to my senators and standing up for the vulnerable. When things seem especially bad I say, “I gotta hear what Harry has to say about this.” Your words matter. Thank you for standing up day after day, that’s real courage.
Like me, so many Americans are feeling for all victims and victim families of the criminal, horrific cruelty and abuse imposed by the January 6th felons. This is an evil that will not last. So many are working to stand up to this anarchy every day, and will continue to do so. What you did to protect democracy matters! We are with you and all who stood with you that day. Brian Sicknick did not die in vain. Thank you
I'm so sorry. Thank you for continuing to speak out. You should not have to be going through this. It's an outrage.
This is Zook. Is this a Tobin that knows a tall gentle giant?

I call Hawley the RUNNER! POS.
I also live in a deep red state and ALL of my RW congress critters support this fascist debacle........

Am I offbase here? Am I misreading the situation?
I am liberal in a very red state however my small city is usually blue but for some reason folks didn't get out and vote I was so disappointed.
I thought I was save here.
I meant to say END CITIZENS UNITED

My apologies all
Be well and thank you
No need to apologize, Officer Dunn. I believe I speak for everyone here when I say that I knew exactly what you meant to say. And thank you so much for actually reading our comments!!! You are the Best!
Thank you, Officer Dunn! We out here do appreciate and support you. Not all of us voted for hate. Susan
I did not.
You are not alone. Your service is and has been impeccable - if I'm near I will stand between you and those thugs.
Keep going Harry!
Thank you for standing up for what is honorable. Our country is better off with people like you!
Harry you are one of my heroes. I am retired but I am a County Democratic Party Chairman and what we need is young people willing to be involved and help us!

Harry I am so sorry, this is not who we are! Stay strong. They won’t get away with this. 💕
We will not quit. Don't be worried about that. This is no time to be apathetic. We need each other and other like minded people to fight this mentally incompetent scourge.

Thank you!
Anytime Harry. You have my support.
What he did was Inexcusable. I have no doubt that he will go down in history as the worst President ever. I only hope we survive his tenure.
