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.
I am a large, semi-muscular man. I can take it. Don't hide behind Mal 'cause you know he'll shoot it down for you. Tell me.

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!!

Yes, the Senate is a big problem that I do not know how to solve. Even my assassination fantasies would probably not actually help at this point.

I am never trusting another poll again.

Cannot actually do my work on my phone while staying abed. Sigh.
