That was the most frightening part of this election for me. This wasn't just a battle of values it was a fight for the system itself. Before 2016 I had no idea that there was such an authoritarian streak in this country. It's clear that we are in a long term battle for democracy itself.

I think I'm the opposite. I don't know if I could have made it through the last four years if I didn't believe we would repudiate Trumpisim. We definitely have not done that, in terms of the Senate. We also elected some real crackpots to the House (as usual). I guess I just do better when I have, hope even if there is a let down later.

Thank you, Carl. I'm just glad to know that not everyone in Nebraska is snowed by that conman. I've joined a campaign for city council. We're trying to get a woman elected who actually believes in science. As you've said sometimes it's the state and local government that means more. I think that's especially true out here in red fly over country.

At least we would have a competent leader on Covid. That's something we desperately need.

Right. Waiting is very difficult. I remain quite hopeful that Biden will win though.

I'm so happy McSally lost in AZ.

I was thinking about that too. I have major love for our little thread. At least Omaha really did come through.

Even if Biden wins, I will always be stunned that so many Americans are ok with the lies Trump tells and the hate he sows. He slaps us in the face with every lie he tells and laughs about it and still millions vote for him.

I'm still very hopeful, but I certainly understand why some people are not.

I certainly understand how you feel.

Good to hear. Mine was accepted too. I'm so glad we can check on our ballots.

We are going to kick there asses straight back to hell. I almost hope the Senate is tied so Kamala can come down and put them in their places every time its 50-50. Not really, but almost. We are lucky the judiciary isn't completely corrupted.

I hear you. It's been an awful four years. I got through the first year or so of his presidency via denial. "We can just fix this when he's gone. We can undo that". Of course, that's nonsense. Terrible things have happened to people, specifically children that can never be undone or fixed. It really is nothing short of a stain on our nation. Moving forward is not going to be easy, but hopefully we will get that chance.

When we vote, we win. I absolutely believe that we are going to repudiate Trumpisim as a nation on Tuesday.

I have to admit I really like Tara. She's been telling the truth about Trump the whole time he's been in office.

Best wishes for a negative result Amy.

And black voters are turning out in large numbers. https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/26/politics/black-voter-turnout-election-trnd/index.html

🤣 In other good news. The threat to democracy has woken people up.

I have to say I'm pretty hopeful. One of my high school friends just voted for Biden along with her teenage daughter. I have never met a person more apathetic to politics. These people are living in poverty in the armpit of upstate NY, prime Trump country. Her mother was a proud Trumper and has turned against him. That's anecdotal, but I think the large turnout is in our favor. 😂 Exactly.

Absolutely. This is monstrous. I only wish I believed in hell. In happier news.

As someone who worked as a grocery store check out girl back in the day, this is a fact. I remember one woman going nuts on me because I handed her a receipt she didn't want. There were so many pissed off people who wanted to take out their life frustrations on people they knew had to take it. If you want to be overrun with the Karens of his world work at a grocery store. That was over 25 years ago, so I can only imagine what it's like now. I agree about the hazard pay too. Everyone who is working customer facing jobs should be making more right now.

Hell no. The man needs to die. I knew we wouldn't luck out and be saved by a natural death in 2020 though. As we've seen, people at this level have world class healthcare. That's ok though. Let him live to see this country kick his traitorous ass to the curb. We are going to have a huge blue wave and repudiate everything this wanna be dictator stands for. The only question is how many of his enablers and sycophants go down with him. Please God, let us take the Senate.
