(12,229 posts)It just feels like some hackers were able to tweak the numbers just enough in just the right counties to blunt the obvious momentum and all the signs pointing to women coming through to save the day. I just cant believe this it doesnt add up.

(15,771 posts)... That's what I don't get. It just doesn't something doesn't add up. There's no way she had so much more energy and enthusiasm and momentum behind her than Hillary did in my opinion, and TFG is a thousand times worse than before.. something's wrong something's off

(1,200 posts)But it does seem strange that every swing state closed hard for Trump. Not a swing state but Virginia was the only state where Harris seemed to extended the lead late.

(45,655 posts)I watched CONAN THE BARBARIAN tonight to take my mind off of The Election and i WATCHED Godzilla Minus One.... (If i had one wish right now, it would be for Godzilla to stomp TRUMP into the ground ) .. My stomach is in knots and I can't even eat...
I guess I need to smoke a few more bowls ... and even that, I am not sure will Help.. Maybe I need to find another movie to watch and try and forget about tonight..

(131,209 posts)2016 was shocking enough, but now we know exactly who and what Trump is: Almost everybody who worked for him has turned against him, including all those generals who said he was a national security threat. He's been convicted of 34 felonies and has been adjudicated a rapist. He's been found liable for defamation. He can't string together a coherent paragraph. He's insulted damn near every demographic group except for white men.
But here we are.
What. The. Fuck. is wrong with this country?
And what will we do now?

(45,655 posts)it doesn't deserve to be a country, and for sure TRUMP will destroy it, and all of us.

(15,771 posts)You know, if I was 20 years younger I would fight... I would join the million woman March that will eventually happen but peaceful protest will be put down with the national guard or army troops ...now I'm about to cry.
So I guess it's a good thing that I never sold the land that my dad left me. I'm going to buy a motorhome drive it up there, get me some solar panels, and figure it out. Stay the fuck away from society as much as I can.. I'll stay in California and keep my health care. Until he has Newsom jailed...
And I guess when my arthritis medicine runs out I'm done...
Cuz without health Care my life is shit. And I would rather die than go through that again 😭
