Nothing is lost. It's a defeat but the fight is not lost, damn it! Now the real fight BEGINS. Do not lose heart. Do not lose faith.

I hope people start to get together and really try their best to do the "lobbying" (ugh, hate the word and the concept but in this case I will let it fly...) with their representatives, or however you call them in the U.S. Starting from the grass root level as a bigger movement should work way better than getting one single person in the house/senate, for example. It has to be a mass of people - not just one. I must admit the U.S. voting system is absolute bonkers to many outsiders - myself included - so if I misinterpreted some very crucial points, please let me know.

Heads high! Keep fighting!

There were many grassroots organizations that tried to stop this. One was called Informed Parents of Washington. They focused more on the fact that kindergartners would be getting taught sex education than anything that had to do with gender ideology. This wasn't a vote for a politician. It was about voting on a referendum.

Don't stop the fight regardless.
