Woke up to this Family song playing, from Dreamgirls, & I thought it was someone singing about the election.
Yes. I felt certain the 81 million who voted for Biden and possibly more, would vote for Harris. That they didn't and this was a poor turn out is mind-boggling, unless people were afraid to go and vote.
@Astartiel Seriously this makes no fucking sense whatsoever. This many of us couldn't have been so wrong about the rest of our country ,Maga couldn't have infected that many ,I just dont see it I do see the possibility of serious fuckery , keep seeing something about thousands of ballots rejected in PA and hope Harris doesn't just surrender
@tyghebright I get Republicans are that way but I don’t get that Democrats are that way, considering the alternative would be him again. 🤷🏻♀️
I think many couldn't bring themselves to vote for a woman.
Some will have withheld their vote over Palestine, but I think that's a small number.
Most Americans are just ignorant as fuck and have no idea what's going on.
@Astartiel HugHugHugHugHugHug
@Astartiel still not sure I believe that's what most of us did
@Astartiel Then the Speaker of the Hospital she is prez. He's no find either.
@Astartiel i think that's wholly understandable, given the circumstances. Give yourself the grace you would afford others in such trying times. 💜
@BosmangBeratna Thank you. I'm really quietly freaking out.
@POOetryma @Tee_Lynn @Astartiel although I think the GOP falling hook, line, and sinker for MAGA orthodoxy and Qanon craziness makes them susceptible to control by oligarchs like Thiel and Musk and manipulation of course by other totalitarians like Putin. Those tech bros are hardcore libertarians and hadn't yet found away to bring about their libertarian wet dream within the current systems. So they will happily try to burn it all to the ground to set up their fictional level playing field.
@Tee_Lynn @hallmarc @Astartiel Who's using who? The Bible freaks aren't completely stupid. They know what Der Trumpenführer really thinks and they don't care. They have an agenda and he's the vehicle by which they'll achieve it. Their work began during the Reagan era, but it's going at warp speed now. Trump is all too happy to give them what they want (nobody will tell him "no" this time), so long as they continue to kiss the proverbial ring.
@Tee_Lynn @hallmarc @Astartiel Totalitarianism is the goal.
@ThrasherPrime you get that much of this isn't gloom & doom but grieving, right?
peeps have a right to mourn & grieve. give them 5 minutes. or maybe a week or two.
it's a lot. their hope was extinguished. fuck, i don't even live in the country & my hope was extinguished.
if you don't want to see it or hear it, filter/block/mute.
but mourning & grieving does help many to move on. don't rush them just b/c you're not feeling the same or grieve the same.
