To be honest this is the opposite of all is lost. We've never been this galvanized as a collective force before so, I am actually somewhat thankful that this is happening. Northam's significant over-reach was exactly what was needed to bring us together and get people off their asses.
In many ways what we are doing here will set a precedent throughout the nation and thankfully Virginians are standing up and firmly saying, not only no, but fuck no.
