I have decided---I'm 80 years old

[Jilly_in_VA]

I WILL NOT PUT UP
AND
I WILL NOT SHUT UP!

Who'"s with me (when you get done licking your wounds, even?)

[Ocelot II]

1. I'm getting there, and I'm with you.

What have us old folks got to lose any more?

[katmondoo]

29. I am 95 and will never be quiet about this '

He is a disgusting old man. When I was young and worked in New York City, I met , during the course of business many guys just like Trump. They had no problem making a pass at me anytime they wanted. Trump was the same low life as these CO's. All thought they were the greatest and the most desireable of men. Meanwhile they were really the most abominable and disgusting.

[Emile]

2. I'm with you.

[rog]

3. Just turned 80 two weeks ago ...

... and I'm with you!

[SheltieLover]

4. Absofuckinglutely!

[jfz9580m]

5. I am going to schedule my time for sanity

But basically yes. I plan to pay attention sporadically rather than obsessively though.
Gotta stay sane and focus..I have to work.

[Silent Type]

6. Looking forward to mid-terms, if we survive that long. I think we will, though wounded.

[duhneece]

7. I'm with you!!

I’ll grieve… then rise.
I’ll reach out to the people I know, I’ll work on staying connected…then organize.

[BarbD]

8. I'm with you and will be 87 in a few weeks.

I will fight for the future of my grandchildren and great grandchildren.

[RustyWheels]

9. I'm 62...

I'm with you.

[KentuckyWoman]

10. I'm over 80 and I'm not done either.

I've decided to cut a few people out of my life that would vote to burn the country to the ground rather than sit next to the likes of me (the enemy within). That gives me more time to fight for what is right. However, I am less optimistic for the end of my lifetime than I've ever been.

[Evolve Dammit]

32. The enemy from within was pure projection

[benfranklin1776]

11. I am! ✊🏼

He is too:

[Ligyron]

12. (Raises hand) Me, ME!!

70 and in good shape in fascist Florida.

[LeftInTX]

13. I'm only 68 and need physical therapy from fighting

[HarryM]

14. I'm only 69

But I a right with you.
Never surrender.
Don’t mourn, organize

[58Sunliner]

15. K & R. Still in my fetal position, which I'm not proud of.

[bluescribbler]

16. I'm only 73, but,

Hell, yes!

[DemonGoddess]

17. I am

[hannah]

18. YES

I believe we should organize,organize and organize! think we should get our younger people to run for local
State Legislatures. Maybe we could stop the gerrymandering . Rebubs can’t win without gerrymandering.
Let’s F ing go!

[BonnieJW]

19. I don't mean to be defeated, but

Someone tell me how. Who do you fight when this country is soon going to be populated with goons who are waiting to put anyone, any reporter, any protester in prison without charge or trial? What will happen to your 20 year old son who marches against the new government? Who is going to write that letter to the editor or that oped piece? What paper will even print them? And do you think DU will be here in a year?

[murielm99]

20. The goons have always been out there.

Trump just enabled them to emerge from under their rocks. We stand up and fight them, no matter what. I am 76. My husbands 80. We will not stop fighting.

[Paper Roses]

21. I am 82. I'm scared to death of what is to come with my health and $$$ issues.

I made 2 donations, not large ones to the Harris campaign. After receiving at least 100 or more requests for
$$, I started to get angry. THe meager well ran dry.

We all know that a presidential campaign is expensive but not if you have billionaires and Russia behind you,
There is not much I can do but if you have an idea for an old lady, let me know. I admire your perseverance. I have no more left to give.

[Jilly_in_VA]

26. I am too, my friend

but what can we gain by sitting in a corner and grieving? We need to get up and fight to the last breath!

[ananda]

22. Just turned 76 here. You go girl!

I'm with you 100% !!!

But I need to hibernate and get creative
for a little while first.

Like a reboot.

I'm thinking crochet, relearning piano,
something like that.

[bluestarone]

23. 77 with you here

Whatever it takes to save our country.

[MMBeilis]

24. I went to bed last night thinking about leaving the country, but this morning I'm ready for the good fight.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

25. 72 and outspoken!

[Ping Tung]

27. I'm 80 and with you. I warned my dentist this morning that I'm particularly grumpy today.

[ancianita]

28. If you speak against the man with total immunity, you will go down. Ready for that?

Because he will definitely shut up all his opponents on penalty of prison, deportation, treason, and/or their lives. He personally won't do it, but his deputies will. There will be only a neutered DOJ and ACLU to defend you in a MAGA court.

It's not cowardice to make a strategic retreat, join forces with lawyered up institutions and groups who will collectively fight the good fight.

[Jilly_in_VA]

31. What do I have to lose at my age?

A few more years of life in a fascist AmeriKKKa? I'd rather be remembered like Dietrich Bonhoeffer or Sophie Scholl...or maybe the (fictitious?) Barbara Fritchie.

[Brother Buzz]

30. I was ready to pass the baton and sit back to become a spectator

I can’t exactly do that now, and question if I have one more fight left in me.

But Damn it, this is a fight that needs to be fought. I’m in!

[seta1950]

33. Yes

Right there with you, 74 years old

[Evolve Dammit]

34. Picked the wrong time to sell my re-loading equipment

[Jeebo]

35. I'm with you, but ...

... I'm 74 years old and my health is not good and I have serious doubts about whether I'll still be above the ground in four years, or even in two years. Maybe I'll be around longer than I think, but what can I do? Besides giving money, writing letters to the editor, and voting. In a way, I'm glad I won't be around a whole lot longer. I don't think I'm going to like the world I'll be having to live in.

— Ron

[Jilly_in_VA]

36. Well, that's not putting up or shutting up, my friend!

Keep the faith!

[lees1975]

37. I'm 67 and I'm right there with you.

He will NEVER be my President.

[summer_in_TX]

38. 71 here. Democracy is worth fighting for.

Gonna persevere.

[Skittles]

39. I won't abandon my country to fascism, I know that!

I'm not a fucking COWARD, I WILL STAY AND FIGHT
