Look at Hong Kong they had a massive voter turnout. That’s what we need here. I think Nov 2020 elections is going to be one to remember. People fighting to save democracy and the right wing bat sh..t crazies trying to keep T and company
Sunday’s District Council elections produced landslide victories for pro-democracy candidates, j
In reading your visions from 2014 and 2017, my vision from our October 9th small group session comes to mind:
- Red balloons, representing the extreme right wing party, lifting up into the air and floating away. They are blowing away. I see elephants, a GOP symbol, rampaging across the land in a fury, dust arising from all their actions. (Bluebelle)
What I should have clarified is that the rampaging elephants were stampeding away, not running towards me. They were kicking up clouds of dust, their big ears were flapping, their trunks trumpeting. They were going away, just like the balloons.
What we are seeing in the Republicans’ actions right now is a lot of drama, hot air, and fury. Underlying all their blustering is fear.
So your vision fits my elephant and the candidate sitting on him but turned backwards. I had thought it meant that the candidate wins and his vision is to turn the country backwards in time to an earlier era. DT has said his MAGA means reverting back to the 1950's, a time of white male supremacy, misogyny and racism.
I remember reading some of the early predictions (during 2017) and one that stood out to me was a prediction that the 2018 elections would be rigged, and that people would be really disillusioned. That predictions freaked me out at the time. Now, some elections clearly were rigged (GA, FL), but the blue wave was intense. So, I think that despite the GOP appearing dominant now, strong public opinion and a galvanized electorate can make a difference. The future is fluid, for the bad and the good.
Happy New Moon!
There were two recent polls that showed Trump gained over dems, one was Marquette polling for Wisconsin (showing Trump would win over any dem candidate there) and the other was a general election poll by Emerson showing the only candidate to be even one + from Trump was Bernie.
Trump didn't have the advantage in Wisconsin a month prior (before impeachment briefings on air).
When I read these I just felt they were not accurate, and even fraudulent. I'm not sure but that's my intuition speaking. I'd like to know if you or anyone else here has an opinion about that too.
here's the link to the polls:

One of the main drivers of the pro-democracy politicians’ success in Hong Kong on Sunday was unexpectedly high turnout among younger voters. I’ve often thought of how the 2020 election will be the first presidential election in which Gen Z will be able to come out in droves. That, combined with newly energized millennials, could have big implications for how the races pivot.
T always fails at everything he does. And there goes his Presidency.
Had a vision two days ago. T had a rope around his neck and the other end was held up in the air by him. He will and has always has hung himself. Totally self-destructive.
A poly sci professor I know told me not to put too much stock in polls. 1st of all look at who is taking them, 2nd who are they polling and lastly because of 1 and2 polls can be manipulated. I take heart in the people I know who are long time Republicans who wish they had never heard of Drump! A lot of military vets I know are really mad about how he tries to manipulate his image asa great military leader. They think he is a traitor and a joke. Moscow Mitch is polling at 18% in Ky. I doubt if that’s accurate but I don’t think it is too far off. He’s shown his true colors and they don’t sit well with a lot of folks here. One interesting fact re: the governor’s election here, counties in Eastern (ie coal country) and Northern Ky voted Blue for the first time in decades. I believe the tide is turning but it is going to depend on the Dems candidate and how united a front we present. Jordon, Nunes and miss Lyndsey aren’t doing themselves any favors with there behavior. Collins, Paul and Mittens can’t decide which side of their mouths to speak out of. They make the Dems like Pelosi and Shiff (sp?) look rock steady and even more sane. As far as which of Drumps ex cabinet members will testify, I think that depends on who Drump pissed off the most. Sad but true. I’m not psychic but I believe we will start to hear more from a group I heard about a few months ago. They are a group of conservative high profiles who have formed an anti Drump association calling for the “the right and truth of law”. They are lawyers and ex political figures who believe 5his administration has repeatedly broken the law.
no matter what we are in for a long tough year.
