And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I would really like to be cautiously optimistic but so far this election feels like everything that went wrong in 2000 and 2016 all at once. (Please do not reassure me with data. I am looking at the data. My blood pressure is unconvinced.)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
No political discussions when working for government, it seems.
I am very weepy though.

I've lived in both red and blue parts of Texas and it seems to me that the divide between the two is just getting worse and worse. Neither side is trying to bridge the gap and, if they do, they get taken down by their own people: The title "There's Nothing in the Middle of the Road but Yellow Stripes and Dead Armadillos" seems to really define things these days.
My family's lived in Texas for something like 4 generations, but I think it's time to move on.

Yeah this is so stressful and depressing. I’m still cautiously hopeful but bummed that there’s no way we get the senate.

We’ve been home 10 seconds and ltc is throwing the most epic tantrum. I’m doing my best to avoid it and not feed it.

Our wings are not tired.
No matter what the final result is, and I think it will be Biden, it doesn't take away the fact that nearly 50% of my fellow citizens think Trump being president is just fine and dandy. I don't want to know or be near any of these people. Even the ones related to me or that I have known all my life. There is no way I can except this kind of thinking. I can't get past this.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I'm not trying to be cynical, but I'm not surprised that half the country is a bunch of bigoted shitbags. 2016 brought it to my attention, and I sure didn't expect that they'd have a change of heart en masse. Plus, people who live by the principle of "fuck you; I got mine" aren't going to change being such selfish fucks.

Fair. I'm slightly reassured by the tantrum the Orange Menace is throwing. The more "unfair" he claims the election is, the more I think things are going our way.

Yeah. It's kind of like how my home town is cheap, on the Lake Huron coast, and I could quite possibly get a job there now. But there's a known KKK group operating there, and anyone in the grocery checkout line could be a part of it. So I will not be moving back.

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.
The "fuck you, I've got mine" is the biggest issue right now. My understanding is there's a lot of Republican voters who know and admit Trump is a complete disaster and unfit to lead, but they're still willing to vote for him because he delivers them tax cuts and conservative judges. (And then there's his batshit crazy rabid base.)
