We have a gun nut living very nearby. I had already decided where to hide my laptop if he broke in to see if we were Dems (under the litter box). But hey, if they win, maybe they will be less likely to want to shoot us.

I'm very depressed right now. This is feeling like 2016, when I kept hopefully checking but finally it was clear he had won. And this is FAR worse. We won't have trump now, we will have Vance, and he is even more hate-filled and insane.
