This feels so much like 2016. [View all]

[Crunchy Frog]

Everybody feeling so confident, and coming and checking the computer that night and seeing all the doom.

Only difference really is that I'm feeling more prepared. This is the outcome that I was always expecting, but in 2016 I truly didn't believe that Fuckface had a chance. I'm more jaded and cynical and ready to just grit my teeth for whatever is coming, so I'm not panicking the way I was 8 years ago. I've also managed to not eat wads of candy, and the various substances I've taken seem to be more effective. And of course we still have DU this time.

I'm just really, really sad. I think Kamala would have possibly been a brilliant president. It just seems that the American people as a whole have decided to flush the country and a 250 year experiment with democracy down the toilet. There isn't anyone who voted for the Thing who didn't know exactly what they voting for. I guess we really do live in a shithole with some islands of sanity in it.

I apologize for the rambling. I've managed to stay away from this and other political sites for most of the night, and was dreading coming on here, but finally pulled myself together enough to do it.

I need to figure out how to best keep myself anesthetized for the next few days.

I hope everyone is coping as well as possible.

Just shit.
