Anyone else walking around with a knott in their stomach?

[busterbrown]

Amazing how one single ill-informed idiot could have placed a knot in all our stomachs ...So Easily!!

Worst part of it is that we are forced to stay vigilant .. Who knows whats next!!

[MaryMagdaline]

1. Every day.

[Laurelin]

2. Yeah

pretty much for the last four years.

[beachbumbob]

3. None at all but I've been a political type for 45 yrs and I see 2020

as building off of 2018 and zero relationship to 2016

4. My Vote Blue sign stolen by Halloween thieves last night.

It was right up by my front door, not on the street. Gave me a sour taste for the day. Put up another one, but will take down at night after this.

5. No choice

Our democracy/future of our country/lives is on the line.

[luv2fly]

12. Meh

There are more of us than them, especially amongst the young folks. It might be a struggle but we will prevail.

[Blue Owl]

6. Only because there is always the fact that tRump cheats

n/t

[smirkymonkey]

7. Yep. Think I am going to have to spend the rest of today and tomorrow

watching movies and TV shows on Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime. I don't have the stomach for this anymore.

[Laelth]

8. This one had 62 million followers in 2016 who voted for him.

This isn’t your average ill-informed idiot. All of us who care about this republic have EARNED the knots we are feeling in our stomachs right now.

9. For four years and maybe longer. Tums don't help. n/t

[luv2fly]

10. Nope

A delicious Bigfoot Barleywine, but no knots.

[Mz Pip]

11. Me

I’ve bee having nightmares, weird frenetic dreams that wake me up at 3am.

Then I’m exhausted during the day with headaches.

[CanonRay]

13. Since at least March

[blm]

14. ✔️

[Arkansas Granny]

15. It's been there for a while and I don't think it's going away until Trump concedes.

[BComplex]

16. My stomach is all torn up. The end of the counting and certification of this election can't

come soon enough for me. I'm not sure I could go through another one like this.

[3catwoman3]

17. I've had a knot in my gut since...

...November 2016.

There was a thread quite a while back asking DUers what stage of grief and grieving we were in. I replied that I was stuck in denial and disbelief - every time I’d look at Trump, my mind would say, “This can’t be. This just can’t be.”

[Chili]

18. for weeks

Can't take more than the 48 hours we've got ahead of us. Can't take any more...!

[sinkingfeeling]

19. I'm more like a cat on a hot tin roof.

[barbtries]

20. night before last

i literally dreamt about trump. and gw FFS
last night i dreamt my DIL was telling my son and i that she hates us. don't ask me why.
i am a bundle of stress. it's just going to be this way at least through tuesday.

so thankful for DU

[jimlup]

21. I'm phone banking tonight

that should help

[marble falls]

22. Not me. All we need is to pay attention and let them know we're paying attention. We won and ...

and that's all there is to it.

[Initech]

23. I just saw a drive by Chump parade.

And not only were these cars dexked out and obnoxiously yelling shit out of megaphones.

[Cha]

24. Of course, and the closer this gets the

tighter the knot.

[cwydro]

25. Be careful. Someone will tell you not to feel worried.

Apparently not allowed here lately.

But many of us do indeed have a knot in our stomach. Don't feel alone.

[redwitch]

26. All the time.

I am used to it now. Can’t wait to get unused to it.

[lobointexas]

27. Absolutely!

[Silent3]

28. I'm a little nervous, but mostly upbeat

And I speak as someone who was very nervous about 2016. While I still leaned toward thinking Clinton would win, I wasn't very confident considering the huge downside risk if she lost.

The downside risk is just as big (if not bigger) this time, but the chances of Biden winning are also a lot better than Clinton in 2016. Totally different electoral dynamics this time.

My nervous side is mostly overridden by the kind of hopeful anxiousness of a kid waiting for Christmas morning

[aidbo]

29. Knott in your stomach?

[Silent3]

30. +1 n/t

[hamsterjill]

31. Yes. For four years.

Damn time to be able to relax and live again. I know there’s still COVID to deal with AND the time to the Inauguration Day. But let’s get this shit going and start in the path back to normalcy!

[ecstatic]

32. Yes! I'm about to chow down!!

Cheesecake, ice cream, etc!

[yonder]

33. Not yet, but had one for at least a month 4 years ago.

[democrattotheend]

34. Me! Although it's hard to tell

Hard to tell how much of the knot in my stomach is nerves and how much is my son (who's due in late December) poking in inconvenient places. But every time I start feeling confident, I read another article that messes with my head and I start getting nervous about a repeat of 2016.

[Generic Brad]

35. Nope

We've got this!
