Was going to say things might be getting better till I saw your post.
It’s not hopeless, but the other team has the ball on our one yard line, and another touchdown or even a field goal will put the game out of reach. We need to move the ball downfield, and we need to rack up a whole lot of points before they score again.
I am more concerned than you can imagine - I do not want a second Civil War in out country. The communists would lose the war, but even decent Americans would lose almost as much as our enemies within our borders would lose.
