One of the worst things about this election is finding out that good friends that I’ve made who never talk politics are suddenly very pro Trump. I just can’t deal with all this. I am not ok, and I think that’s the correct way to feel right now.

@angiebulkeley Wing born and raised in Ohio, and now living in Michigan. Nothing has gone our way 😔

I am lucky to live in MA. We made the right choices across the board. The big one didn’t go our way, but the results of the ballot questions give me hope for the future.

I wish I could feel better than I did last night, but honestly, I’m not. Seeing my 17 year old daughter crying as we drove her to school this morning just broke me.

Awake again and trying to escape the nightmare that just occurred and will continue for the next for years by turning my brain off (hopefully) with a movie I basically know by heart and never slows up: Speed. (In digital 4K, not VHS, I just like the nostalgia)

@clowchan Sorry. If you need an ear to vent into, I’m pretty much always around.

@NuclearRanter Ugh my dad is too. Sucks Good

This man has 34 felonies This man said that migrants are eating people’s dogs and cats This man says doctor abort babies after they’re born This man swayed for almost 40 to his playlist at a rally This man made fun of disabled people I could go on and on. This is just sad

@clowchan Unfortunately my Mom is very pro Trump, so I’m not looking forward to talking to her again. If she bring this stuff up Amanda or I will shut it down quickly.

@NuclearRanter Because unfortunately we have a lot of people who are brainwashed and braindead. Man literally told them who he is and they voted for him anyway

THIS MAN IS A CONVICTED FELON AND INCITED AN INSURRECTION ATTEMPT!!!! I know I’ve been venting a lot tonight. I just need some sort of outlet. I think I’m gonna try and go mellow out some.

@clowchan I’m honestly sitting here crying. I might be a cis white man, but I’ve already cried tonight. For my daughter, my niece, several friends. How did this happen again?

@NuclearRanter And people ate that shit up. This honestly sucks so much

If any of you following me voted for Trump in this election, by all means, please, unfollow me

I’m still trying to absorb what’s happening tonight. I’m terrified for my daughter, niece, LGBTQ+ friends. Everything is going to skyrocket in cost if his disastrous tariff plan goes into effect. He’s going to appoint life time term Supreme Court justices. How do we survive this?

The amount of people voting out of or in favor of hate makes me sick to my stomach.

I know this isn’t over yet, but God am I scared. This can’t be happening again. I’m about to start crying. What will my 17 year old daughter’s life be like? How can so much of this country support such a terrible human being?

To keep from having a total breakdown, we have switched off the news and put on the Hallmark+ original reality show “Finding Mr. Christmas”. It super cheesy but it’s actually better than I was afraid it might be.

@angiebulkeley Excellent choice!

@angiebulkeley It’s just not the same unless you watched it with others as a youth on a bad VHS transfer. I actually watched it not long ago on Shudder and was surprised how tame and ultimately boring such an infamous movie actually is.

Them: if you could go back in time and tell teenage you anything, what would it be? Me: *whispers* Faces of Death will be on a major streaming platform in 30 years.

Sitting here watching the election results with some pot and a glass of Scotch. Anyone else as terrified as I am right now?

@angiebulkeley The wife and I are on the edge of panic attacks already. I really hope it’s a blow out and is over soon.

I feel like the whole country is nervously awaiting the results of an STD test.

@jetsch71 I first read his Books in Blood in high school as well. Stephen King is my favorite author, and I saw a quote from him praising Barker so I grabbed them and then devoured everything he has ever written!

@NuclearRanter Yes, I stumbled across his Books of Blood when I was in high school and was hooked. I love his writing, so much of it even 30 years later i still find myself thinking about.

I adore the worlds that Clive Barker builds and this is no exception. Always creepy and weirdly sexual.
