The Nation is ibn peril and true patriots are stepping up.

I expect this to continue.

Look at what just happened in Hong Kong voting. I expect the same to happen here.

I know many have been skeptical of my optimism for 2020. I have tried to explain that what I am trying to do is figure things out. That means finding evidence and trying to put a picture together.

Well, today we have several brand new pieces of evidence:1) from the impeachment hearings that have hurt trump and the Republicans badly; and 2) the recent election in Hong Kong.

The pro Democracy party who only won 40% of the vote in 2015, with the pro Beijing party winning over 50% and the Independents the rest, just won 108 of the first 120 seats. There are about 435 (?) seats in their congress.

As well,the voter turnout which just happened was 3 times what it was in 2015. 4.13 million versus 1.4 million in 2015! The people stood in lines for hours to vote.

The same thing is not only going to happen here in 2020, IMO, because we have evidence that our situation here is very much like the situation in Hong Kong i.e. people are coming to hate Trump and fear him, especially after everyone saw this week how both Trump and the Republicans are helping the Russians and spreading lies about Ukraine.

The voter turnout in KY, that elected a Democratic governor, I think was three times higher for the millennials than in 2016 and also higher in the LA governors race that also saw a Democrat win.
