So to distract myself from everything I called Met Life to get an auto insurance quote wondering how much more they would want me to pay. I get a discount from work for being with them but figured it can't be that much more of an improvement--
but!
I'll be saving $50. Before they factored in my car accident it was a bigger discount (but still much higher than what I was paying in NC) but that's ok. Because I'm saving money. And it's a tiny bright spot in the day and I'm taking it.
I just am non-functional this morning. I am filled with rage and hatred over my fellow man being able to vote for Trump at all, much less in majority of my state. My mind is too foggy to even get a clear sense of the Senate situation. Also, all stuffed up and can't breathe this morning. Not cool, body.
Getting out of bed is really hard this morning. Haven’t actually done it yet.
Hope you feel better soon, Laura!
I wasn't able to fall asleep last night at all.
Breathing a tiny bit easier--a couple of states that were tilting red when I staggered to bed are tilting blue again, and it looks like mail-in and absentee ballots are going to keep shifting things and we just don't know. It still shouldn't be this close, but it's not over.
Biden can win if he takes Wisconsin, Michigan and Nevada (where he is currently leading) without needing to take PA. But it shouldn't even be a contest. We've truly become a society that values their party over their country.
M's mom is on the phone (speakerphone of course) w.her daughter so I get insight into the mind of a trump voter who would benefit economically from democrat policies but won't vote for democrats. Its' not economic anxiety, it's racism that is driving that vote. Racism and a belief that the country not being more Christian has ruined things.
Losing the senate is really disappointing. If the ACA is struck down and McConnell blocks everything, then my daughter is screwed on health insurance.
They need to find a way to deal with fucking McConnell and the Senate.
