7. It's potentially an exciting time for the party

Trump and the GOP have decimated their own party. GOPer officials are divided and practically incoherent on a common platform. MAGA is so mocked and reviled, it may never be able to come back.

Democrats all over the country are throwing their hats in the ring and running in an unprecedented wave, from state to federal seats. And they're winning. Candidates are tossing away centrism and running to the left, for the first time since the Clinton Administration.

And AIPAC is finally FINALLY no longer a taboo subject.

Things look pretty good to me
