Voters Have Spoken
Breaking News (11/4/26)—A huge Blue Wave swept the country on November 3, as American voters decided that Democrats should be in control of both the Senate and the House, effective January 2027. Exit polls confirmed that the weak economy (and higher prices), Iran War, and government accountability were key issues. State and federal legal challenges are still possible, but the momentous shift will prevail (House: 240 to 147, and Senate: 54 to 44.)
While we don’t know yet what this will mean to the country’s short and long-term future, changes are definitely “afoot.” Of course, as individuals we don’t have any direct control over legislative decisions, but there are still specific actions we can take to make a difference in the ongoing Make American Normal Again campaign. (See What Can We Do Now?)
And as we begin to see the bright light at the end of the long, winding tunnel, be sure to look at The Road Ahead page (above) on ways that we can and must work together to be more united and eliminate the divisiveness that has infected this country.

Let’s Unite For Change….Today
Time to Decide–Welcome. If you deny the results of the 11/3/26 mid-term elections, honestly believe that the current POTUS strives to unite and lead on behalf of all Americans, that we should be fighting a war with Iran, concur that it’s fine for a U.S. president to pursue and accept a king’s crown, that there’s no harm in ignoring the Constitution and the rule of law, remain silent or otherwise support the president when he makes outrageous comments or excuse his other negative behavior, and generally approve of his first year in office, then this site probably isn’t the place for you.
However, whether you are a Democrat, Republican, Independent, or Undecided, you may have concerns regarding the country’s status quo. Perhaps you are concerned about a president who threatens military action against Denmark in order to acquire Greenland, still argues that he won the 2020 election, embarrasses us on the world stage by criticizing leaders of other countries, and lies incessantly; ICE’s erratic and deadly actions; unscientific health policies; the dramatic rise in nationalism; the potential of using the military to quash peaceful protests; and of course, our not so gradual evolution from a Democracy to an authoritarian regime. You feel strongly that we need to work together to Help Make America tolerant, inclusive, ethical, honest, rational, and less divisive again. That we need to protect our Democracy. If so, you should feel at home here.
The goal of this site is not to criticize those who voted a certain way in 2024. What’s done is done. Rather, our purpose is to emphasize that it’s still not too late to take action and make a difference. It’s understandable that you feel individuals/average citizens have no control over what is happening in Washington, D.C. and elsewhere. But that’s not true. We can all take small steps to support Democracy and Help Make America a more Decent and Normal country again.
