Yes we will have to resist, and I’ll be there with you, but for now I’m going to act like the vast majority of this country and not pay attention to what’s going on. Ignorance is bliss, and I need a fucking break. Take care of yourselves 💙 2/2

Just coming to say that I think disengaging at this point for our sanity is ok. We did what we could, can’t change it now. But I haven’t watched or read news or scrolled this hellscape since Trump took Pennsylvania, and I feel lighter. 1/

@Elex_Michaelson And it wouldn’t have changed anything. Age and mental capacity had nothing To do with it. Look who won.

Imagine a scenario where Biden announced in early 2023 that he wasn't running...and the Democrats had an open primary with debates, town halls, interviews, and their own voters could choose their nominee. That could have happened if Biden didn't insist on running in his 80's.

@RossKneeDeep I’m done. I can’t care anymore. The majority wanted what’s coming. If I could leave I would.

I don't think disappointment is a bigger enough word to describe how I feel. I'd like to say that Kamala Harris put on a very good campaign. It was hard fought and classy. I am at a loss as to what redeemable qualities anyone sees in Trump. Essentially, America has shown us all what kind of country it wants to be. We are polarized split nation that just elected a person who ran a campaign on hate and vitriol. America elected a person who doesn't care to be a president for all of the people. We are going to be governed by a man who can now pardon himself for any crimes he's committed. As well as any crimes he may commit in the future. He also will ad more Supreme Court Justices. Now, the real question becomes will he carry out his many campaign threats like mass deportation, social security cuts, ending the Department of Education or going after the people who chose to go against his will. I'm feel that America has made a very bad choice. At 64 years old, I never saw our country headed in this direction. What are you currently feeling?

@elmo I could use a hug.

This is the truth.

@BarbMcQuade Too many Americans chose lies and hate, and won’t listen to what they hear or see what their eyes show them. When truth is subjective it’s hard to fight. And I’m tired and scared and angry. I don’t want to fight. I want to leave and watch it burn.

To our children and grandchildren, I’m so sorry we couldn’t turn back the hate at this moment. But we can’t give up on the idea of America. In this country, we accept the results of elections, we move on and we work. Choose light over darkness, hope over fear, love over hate, unity over division. 🇺🇸

Democracy is clarity. As a student of human behavior, I believe it reflects the will of the people. The race is not over but the blame game has begun. I will not let the pundits scapegoat Black voters. I will not let you scapegoat Arab American voters. Not even the shift of Latino voters. Donald Trump was supported by White men, White women, non college educated and college educated. Suburban White women and rural White women by a majority. It’s clear that my neighbors, coworkers, and friends have no problem with a convicted felon, convicted rapist, racist, and misogynist leading their government. They share his values. People show you who they are.

@ElieNYC Leopards and faces. Just like white wonen seem to think they’ll still have rights.

Latino voters did not vote against their interests, if you understand that the person who gets into a treehouse has an “interest” in pulling up the ladder behind them. Trump only promised to push the “bad” Latinos out of the tree… and they’re confident that doesn’t mean them.

@ProgressiveGuy_ This country is a cesspool and deserves what it’s about to get.

He had no ground game. He was out fundraised. He was out spent. He was out volunteered. Voter turnout was up. Women voters showed up. Something doesn’t add up.

Enjoy the nightmare of a bed you made in the name of gas prices and cheap groceries that had nothing to do with Trump or Biden anyway. Enjoy xenophobia and misogyny and the loss of rights for everyone but white men. Good luck to all. Maybe I’ll see y’all on the other side 3/3

I’ll go crazy. I have all the respect for those determined to keep resisting, and I’ll vote if given the chance, but I’m done with doom scrolling and being informed. It’s too heartbreaking. Fuck this place and fuck ignorant racists. Fuck people who don’t care enough to vote 2/

Harris ran an extraordinary campaign. She’s the most qualified candidate for President we’ve seen in a generation. But our country chose a bumbling fascist instead. We deserve what we get and I’m having trouble caring anymore. I know I can’t pay attention like I always have, 1/

@0liviajulianna I’m so sorry. Our country betrayed you.

How. How is this happening. He gave a mic a blowjob like 3 days ago. Harris had all the momentum. I don’t understand and never will.

I’m done for a couple hours. I’m going to knit and drink and listen to a book. Check back in a few hours. I hate this fucking place though. I’m ready to just give up. This shouldn’t be how it’s going.

@ArtCandee I fucking love your energy. I agree! She’ll take the states she needs. 💙

HEY!!!! DEMS!!!!! Stop moping!!!! She's got this!!!!!!

@sahilkapur wtf???? Why?

The story of the Texas Senate race: Ted Cruz won Latino voters by 6 points, per NBC News exit polls. In his last race in 2018, Cruz *lost* Latinos by 29 points. A 35-point swing.

@TManitowoc @iamcardib Exactly!!! I’m bummed we didn’t get NC and TX etc too. But we never needed those if we get MI, PA, GA etc. And the votes remaining look to be blue votes. Let’s not give them ammo to say “we were winning until they started cheating.” I refuse to believe he can win this.

@iamcardib Stay vigilant. Trump is running out of states he was expected to win, and Kamala still has CA/OR/WA she will get (75 votes)…and all the swing states have a very large amount of big city (urban) votes to be counted. She got this!

We need a Hail Mary
