... um.

um.

I'm in a state of shock because... some part of me is insane... I really thought Kamala was going to steam roll him... I thought surely not... surely not this time, he literally lost last time, when he wasn't a senile old fuck...

Trump was literally acting like a mental patient for this entire election cycle... now I'm genuinely...

I'm just...

fuck.

Here’s what we’re NOT gonna do. We are not going to point to leftists and say this is their fault. We are NOT going to say people didn’t vote hard enough. Harris ran a bad campaign constantly capitulating to the right, and refusing to motivate voters with populist policies.

You know who we can blame? The people who voted for him. Every man who voted against women. Every white person who voted against black and brown people. Every cis person who voted against trans people. Every straight person who voted against gay people. They are to blame. Not leftists, not Palestinians, not our allies.

We are not going to give up. We lost the election. We lost a lot of elections. Stay strong, we’re going to get through this. We need to stick together, and not let fascism win.

trans and queer people: i know this is awful. but please stay alive. do not let them wipe us out, do not let them eradicate us, do not give them the satisfaction.

stay alive and do it out of sheer fucking spite.

as a reminder to anyone who needs a little hope tonight:

not all votes have been counted. the red majority across the senate, house, and white house may still happen, but it might not be as bad as it looks because mail-in votes typically lean blue. we might win a few seats back.

a few seats/contentious races have already gone in favor of democrats. thats a good sign.

if god forbid everything does go red, this is not the end. many of the policies trump wants to put in place would require constitutional amendments. he doesnt have the 2/3rds support he needs for that in congress even with the current projections. its close.

we don't have to survive another four years. just two. hang on for 2 years, and 33 (out of 100) senate seats are up for grabs. all house seats are, too. we can flip it blue and stop trump. after losing this election, the democrats and the country is going to be ready for a change, just like it was in 2018.

trump is old. trump is not healthy. i wouldn't be surprised if the stress of the job will genuinely kill him or make him incapable of leading. i cant say if vance would be worse or not, but that does change the game significantly.

please don't lose hope. things look dire, but you're here now. you got through 2016, even if you didn't get through as safely or as happily as you would have liked. don't let the doomerism rhetoric of the election get to you. that's meant to make you want anything other than a trump presidency—to make you think you couldn't survive without the alternative. it looks like we'll have to.

and we can. we will.

I'm just so tired of living in a country that hates women so much, that it will elect truly the least qualified man over one of us. And I'll admit that the fact that other countries got there decades before we did was probably helped by a lot of them having parliamentary systems (so a party can pick a woman to lead after winning an election where people voted for the party), but still - this does feel like, when you look at a lot of the rest of the world, a uniquely American delusion. And I just would rather live in a place that doesn't see me as inherently unqualified for leadership because of this!

I went to fucking bed thinking I don't even need to bother watching the count, Kamala is going to steamroll him...

And then 71 million Americans proved that my faith in them was misguided.

She didn't even win the popular vote.

71 million Americans watched Trump rave and froth like a dementia patient on national TV, against possibly one of the most qualified women in history...

and they still voted for the rapist and pedophile and convicted felon.

Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ.

I'm so sorry. to the rest of the world.

maybe we Americans fucking deserve what we get, but the rest of you do not.

I'm so sorry.

they should invent an election with an outcome that doesn't make you want to kill yourself. i think that'd be very cool actually

*gripping your shoulders and shaking you* you gotta promise me one thing, if nothing else. you have to promise me to live, do you hear me. and if it's for nothing else but spite, LIVE. donald trump wants you to feel defeated and alone. let's show him and all the americans who voted for him that we will not stay quiet, we will not be devided and we will LIVE. we will survive that 78-year old felon, we will OUTLIVE him. so please reach out to friends and family, reach out to each other and STAND TOGETHER.

PLEASE, LIVE!

you know what. piss off someone who voted red and have a fantastic day. do the productive thing that you have been putting off. put away that thing in your room you’ve been walking past for the last three weeks. throw out the expired food in your fridge. make yourself a cute little drink. brush your hair. send an email. call that person back. eat a snack. go on a walk. open your mail. fold your laundry. hope is only dead if you let it die.
