i of course agree with you - and I was named after a gun-collecting nurse, so you know, there's that.
there needs to be real undoing of gerrymandering nationally, but especially in swing states, for anything political to happen.
my dad and sorta-kinda-wants-to-leave-but-can't stepmom live in the country three hours south of Seattle. my dad still has this illusion that guns keep him safe. it's the country, nothing out there but coyotes and dumbass Reoublicans to fear. i don't believe that neither he nor my stepmom (OK, probably my stepmom if she learns to shoot) has the emotional intelligence and physical ability to shoot accurately in the event of an emergency.
but come on, my stepmom speaks russian. i think that's a cooler skill than shooting a gun.
