America elected an Incel-in-Chief, so that's not really surprising.
The alternative was apparently not inspiring enough to vote for (/s). You know, someone who isn't that.
(I voted gladly for Harris)
Yes, because Americans are idiots who think that they have to vote for someone they like rather than STOP A FASCIST DICTATOR.
Jesus Christ.
Enjoy never having your vote count again.
People at my spouse’s workplace were high-fiving each other on Wednesday. This country is just a goddamn middle school.
I've wanted to cry since Wednesday morning but it's just not coming out. I'm just too numb. If I was around people like that though, I might have been able to find somewhere to go cry.
Yeah, same, I’ve been largely numb and cold, more angry than scared or wanting to cry, but it wouldn’t be immediately apparent when you talk to me in person (not that I let anyone get close enough to do that these days). Part of it is that we’ve been through it before—last time, he was still an unknown quantity, a question mark. However, we have more than an inkling as to what sort of inhuman shit to expect this time around, so we best spend some time getting prepared.
FS, I'm so sorry, I'm not trying to be an absolute dick here though it will sound like it.
I saw this coming miles away, hence sending my family to Europe.
I desperately hoped I was wrong (and Kamala taking over made me dare to dream), but I knew the worst bits of my country too well.
I really fucking wish I had a better plan right now, this is like the end scene of Empire, but with so much less hope. :(
Am I crazy, or did we feel less helpless the first time around?
No, you don't sound like a dick at all. We're emigrating before the end of January.
you should go cry it out squid. grab your friends and partake in your favorite drug you really do need an emotional release.
What friends?
And I don't have any drugs either.
A few of the guys (Americans) I game with called it "A good result." All I could respond with was a heavy sigh.
At least they haven't been spouting the usual mysogynistic BS in my presence, unlike my last group. They were outright partying, and they aren't even American!
