41. Me, too

Sat Oct 24, 2020, 01:11 AM

Oct 2020

My husband has a first cousin who lives in New Zealand, and we are fortunate enough to meet the income requirement to emigrate. Yet, I don't want to leave south Texas. I moved here in Dec. 1979 and I decided within 6 months that I never wanted to leave. I'm 66 and I feel like the rest of my life hangs in the balance of the outcome of this election. On one side, I'm seeing historic levels of voter turnout in TX and many other states that should mean there is a blue tsunami coming. However, I am still haunted by the results of the 2016 election.

I just want the election to be over. Win or lose, I feel like the rest of my life hinges upon the results.
