Good news! You're bound to do me good,

DEMOCRATS DEFEAT THE POLLS. Democrats yesterday continued to perform better at the polls than in the polls. (The Atlantic)
Democrats won the Kentucky governorship by a comfortable margin, romped to a lopsided victory in an Ohio ballot initiative ensuring abortion rights, and easily captured an open Pennsylvania Supreme Court seat. Most impressive, Democrats held the Virginia state Senate and were projected to regain control of the Virginia state House, despite an all-out campaign from Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin to win both chambers.

Today, Wednesday, November 8, 2023, I felt my gut release, my heart beat a bit slower, my angst seemed less angry, and I actually muttered the sentence, “People might actually, defy evil, and fight for good.” I know, I certainly make myself aware that the kind of evil, we have witnessed isn’t easily defeated by the Good News we received via the 2023 Elections results, but damn, to watch whole communities fight back at Republican Theocratic Fascism makes a great stepping stone forward.
Good News is good news when it defeats Bad News, even for the time being!
