Democratic Club
of Camarillo
Camarillo Democrats!
Democrats and people who love America are grieving. That is understandable. Everyone will need time to express feelings of shock, anger, and fear. Respect those who need to talk about what happened and those who don’t want to talk about it. Everyone will need to process the results in their own way.
It will take time to digest what happened and why it happened. Both are necessary inquiries. But there is no rational explanation for America’s election of a felon, adjudicated sexual abuser, incessant liar, narcissist, and aspiring dictator. None. So, think about it as much as you need to, but don’t waste emotional energy seeking answers where there are none.
Trump is an avatar of anger for millions who see their world slipping away. There is additional nuance about racism, misogyny, and white nationalism, but it’s not more complicated than that.
We must invest all our energy in the process of recovery and the continued defense of democracy.
Before the election, many commentators warned about the end of democracy if Trump won. That isn’t going to happen—not on our watch. America is bigger than Trump and his extremism. Democracy will end only if we give up. I am not going to give up. Camarillo, you aren’t going to give up, either. It won’t be easy. It may get worse before it gets better. But it will get better if we refuse to give up the fight.

There is no General Meeting in December. Instead, the Democratic Club of Camarillo is holding an end of the year luncheon at Ottavio’s Restaurant in Camarillo on Saturday December 7, 2024 at 11:30am. At that time we will be introducing and installing our group of newly elected Club officers. Tickets for this holiday luncheon are just $40 person (drinks are available but are not included in ticket price). Ottavio’s is located at 1620 Ventura Blvd, Camarillo, CA 93010.
