> Is anyone else having a panic attack right now? > I’m so, so, so lost and disappointed watching the preliminary results come in. I’m confused. I’m hurt. I’m angry. I just don’t understand how many people in my country have been brainwashed to the point of voting against their own interests… How the hell did we get here? ---- > I really didn’t want to get my hopes up. But I believed that things were different this time. I thought January 6 changed people’s minds. I thought women dying from being unable to ~~access healthcare~~ kill their babies changed people’s minds. And Harris was such a promising candidate, with experience and charisma [LOL] - I thought people would turn out for her and her vision. I am so sick thinking of the next four years, and the lasting consequences for our nation. ---- > Sadly people just have short memories. The average American doesn't care that much about 1/6 or women's rights, they see eggs at $3 and go ballistic. > I think Kamala did the best she could, given the short time she had and how dismal it had looked for Biden before then. But the fundamentals of the race were always against her, and this country just hates women too much. ---- > I was cautiously optimistic earlier and I am just... devastated right now. I knew it'd be close but I just had a tiny glimmer of hope that MAYBE it would not be like this. > I just don't get it? people are looking at Trump, a convicted felon, a violent instigator of an insurrection, a man who has admitted he'd be a dictator and has threatened political violence on people, an ACTUAL RAPIST, and they're like, "oh yea I can vote for that!" Or, they ignore it because "the economy is bad" like they haven't been paying enough attention to see that Trump's plans are going to actively harm them? > HOW IS THIS HAPPENING??? How are we here again??? I feel so sorry for us, for us women, for us as a country. We owe ALL those women who have died after not receiving the healthcare they need better. I'm sorry we failed them.
