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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
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.

Thrive to spite them
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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
They need to find a way to deal with fucking McConnell and the Senate.

Ugh. I hate how wrong the polling was, giving me so much hope in a lot of races that weren’t even close. And I’m so depressed at how much of the country is still voting for the man. As someone said upthread, seems he would’ve won easily without the pandemic. Which is so scary. Still hoping and praying we don’t have four more years.
Puppy was whining and barking at 1am—took him out twice and he went, but still wasn’t happy, so finally put him in bed with me and he was happy. Ugh. Precedent I do not want at home!!
