Oooof

America, what the fuuuuuuck. :\ Flabbergasted, y'all. I think I was in my blue bubble up here in Seattle; I knew people weren't thrilled with Kamala but I still thought the consensus was that she was better. And House and Senate are Republican majority now too! Goddamn.

I'm not super worried about me personally. I'm queer but Washington is one of two states to go even bluer (the other is Maine) and Seattle has stalwart political leaders who openly oppose Trump (one of the reasons why he talks shit about us so much). But goddamn, my friends and family in red states, I'm so, so sorry. This is truly worst case scenario.

Yes. It sucks.

It's so fucking frustrating and sickening. Been crying off and on all day.

The outcome was quite a surprise to me. Anyway, lots of hugs for you regardless.

I'm in a very red place, but I will be fine. Like you, I'm worried about people in worse situations. And for the American democracy in general.

*HUGS* It's so frustrating and scary to see. :(

I work in a lot of rural areas, so I was disappointed, but not surprised at all with the results.

(It would have been nice if that 2-3 years of trying to find employment in a blue state had netted a result, but I've accepted it.)

Yes, I'm in Ohio and it just keeps getting redder all of the time... and it makes me sick. I thought she was going to win, too. I think I'm still somewhat in a state of shock. I didn't think this would be our future... :-(

I’m so sorry. This is fucking horrendous.

Also WA's new governor is the guy who literally sued the Trump administration over a hundred times from the first week to the last, so we will not be obeying in advance.

I'm heartbroken and so, so, so grateful that I live where I do, because my governor is already fighting about it, but. How can people be so fucking cruel.
