After the most openly bigoted campaign in modern U.S. history, the former president and his party won the popular vote and a decisive victory.

      Pissed doesn’t really describe my emotions today. Trump won decisively, including the popular vote and the Senate. Unlike 2016, the people who voted against him are inarguably the minority coalition now, despite it consisting of tens of millions of people.

      I feel defeated; disillusioned and despondent.

        ^That.

        Humanity as a whole is disgusting. We need to hurry up and go extinct… not that we aren’t already speedrunning that shit.

    It was really hard seeing the all the Trump signs, but I truly believed we wouldn’t make the same mistake twice.

    I’d be impressed if it wasn’t so devastating. I don’t even know how to look at my fellow countrymen without wanting to ask them , “Did you do this?” I feel so… Dejected.

    It was feeling a lot like 2016 to me over the last several months. I physically face-palmed when she went on SNL. I held onto hope that after experiencing a Trump term things would be different but I should have known. After all, when in my lifetime has this country not let me down when it matters most?

    If there’s any hope for the future, the Democratic party needs to evolve. We can’t wait for another global crisis to get us out of this mess again.
