Down. We go down. All these saber rattling about not confirming his picks will disappear come January. Billionaires are already kissing the ring to not get windowed. Its bad, its really bad.

Fearing for the future now that so many Americans fucked us over and ultimately themselves too. Terrified of what will happen. No way to move out of the country, so me and my family are trapped here.

Leave, if possible. If not, put your head down, continue to vote/support progressive candidates and ideas. Understand at the same time the futility of this when there only exist 2 right of center parties who will do whatever they can to stop any real reform. Also internalize the fact that a majority of voters actually voted for a convicted felon and insurrectionist fascist, just to maintain a perspective on this hellish reality.

Also just found out that Nevada voted against ranked choice and open primaries (the latter doesn't seem like a huge loss). We straight up hate democracy it seems.

Missouri did as well. In defense of MO voters, the ballot language was terrible.
