    I am not American and the election is giving me anxiety.

    Right now, I am watching the live results, and I am terrified to go to bed because it should be a landslide win for Harris, but it isn’t.

    America is going full fascist right before our eyes.

    I will.most likely check a few times and then try to force myself to ignore it because even if networks start calling the race for Harris tonight, the legal shenannigans are going to drag out for a while.

    Staying up tonight in the hopes of a clear win is a fool’s errand.

    If I stay up, it’s because I’m gaming. Remember, Biden wasn’t declared winner until the following Saturday.

    If fascism wins, and it very much can, conserve your energy, bottle your anger, and figure out the next move.

    I want to try to go to sleep but I know I won’t be able to, and I’ll wake up in the middle of the night even if I pop an ambien. I tried to keep a good mood today but then my mom had to blurt out that the orange turd already took 2 states while Harris has 1 and now my mind is a wreck

    I never gave a shit about a presidential election up until 2016 when I figured Clinton would coast in. Then I made sure to be involved in every election since then, minor and major, voting pure blue. 2020 was still a little scary, but nowhere near as terrifying as this one

    I’n either staying up til 11pm central, or I’m going to bed at 7pm and waking up at midnight, depending on how close everything is. Hoping the first swing states have healthy margins
