Well, my most immediate thought is I can’t fucking believe we have a result on November 6th. After the 2020 election we saw how important it is to allow time for every single vote to be counted, to not rush the process so everyone can stand confident in the result. After the last election’s fiasco things have to be basically locked down for all major outlets to make a call on the presidential race within 12 hours of the last poll station closing. Like jfc what are we even DOING here.
And that’s really the only coherent thought I’ve got going right now, the rest is just discombobulated word salad with the occasional yelling involved.
I’m coming back later once I get a better handle on things. Trying my best not to word vomit into the void.
Check on your people. We’re not okay out here.
You said it and it sucks. We are one helluva broken country with an election process that defies explanation. Take care of you and yours.

This has been a rude awakening for sure. Or maybe a reawakening? Because this lesson smacked me in the face in 2016 and I just keep learning it over and over again.

Indeed we are not ok. It is sad to stand in a grocery store and know that 53% of those I see believe in Trump, all of his lies, behavior, insulting name calling is the way our country should go. I feel like Eeyore. Hugs to you all.

It looked like it was going that way when I could take no more and went to bed. My emotions are heavy this morning,and I cannot believe the sun is shining after so many cloudy/rainy days. It seems incongruous.

The last 30 minutes I was up
were rough. Around 12:45am I started arguing with myself that every bit longer I stayed up would make me less able to handle what happened today. This has been a heavy day.

I think a comment I got on my blog today confirmed by belief that the Trump supporters are delusional. They have chosen their ‘truth’ and there is no way to change their minds.

It was too quick. The last time it took them a week or more and now- in a day everything is done?
