It boggles my mind how overwhelmingly red the country is.

Ngl, I think there's a lot of cognitive dissonance when it comes to the way parts of minority groups view themselves. I see it myself with the Asian community. They're quick to follow insane, hateful, and bigoted rhetoric because they think "Oh, but they're not talking about us. They're talking about other _____ people."

This is why we need to talk more about the "model minority".

Too many people think tokenism is the fault of those that tokenize others; often times those being tokenized share fault in the issue.

Republicans are going to sweep all branches at this point I fear.

Republicans were always projected to take the Senate though, right?

HEY WEST COASTERS:

YOU HAVE LESS THAN 15 MINUTES TO VOTE. GET THE HELL OUT TO THE POLLS IF YOU HAVEN'T AND VOTE! YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO STAY IN LINE IF IT PASSES 8:00PM!

Unfortunately I think people are voting with their wallet and most everyone I know personally aren't better of financially than they were a couple years ago

I'm a teacher, I work with teens ranging from 12 to 18. "dark humour" is absolutely "trendy" and "cool" for a lot of boys. They think they are so cool making jokes about women cooking and cleaning up, because misogyny is viewed even more negatively nowadays with young people, so these boys basically want to be like a jester and "go against the grain", they feel special making race-gender-identity jokes that can piss off a lot of people, they feed off of that adrenaline. I'm seeing that increasing by the day.

I feel like that is pretty much the vibe that a lot of MAGA and other right wing politicians thrive off

I can't. I just can't. All day I had this pit in my stomach. All day I've been worried. And now I'm sitting at home watching this and crying. I can't do this again, I just can't.

Are non-binary/pronoun people to blame for so many voting for Trump? 

Let's not do this.

Well, this seals US' chance for a woman president who is not a Thatcher, Meloni, Marine Le Pen type for a looong looong time.
