I can't believe the race is so tight and still undecided. After four years of John Iselin or Buzz Windrip as POTUS, seriously? I'm both anxious and angry and I'm not even American!
You're absolutely right. The symptoms are: unbridled fuckery and widespread corruption. It seems we have it. The cure is at hand, the question is, does the country want it?
I'm a little calmer today, Debra. It's probably exhaustion from being so uncalm yesterday. My siblings keep calling to make sure I'm coping. I'm just happy that there is no civil unrest so far. One hour at a time!
Yes, it is stressful. I stayed up until around midnight on the 3rd, hoping for definitive results. We have more hateful people in our country than we thought, and it's disturbing.
But Biden is winning. The stamina of all those tens of millions who stood in line for hours to vote is paying off. Trump is whining and pouting and threatening lawsuits which have no conceivable legal basis, but the fact remains, he's losing.
I posted this exact comment on another person's blog, so excuse me if I plagiarize myself.
The latest electoral results:
Biden: 264 Trump: 214
For months Biden supporters have been encouraged to mail in their ballots rather then show up on Election Day. Well, when enough people do that, it takes a little longer to get the count right. Biden won handily, and we would have known that Tuesday night under normal circumstances.
No sleep Tues. night. Feel like I am on pins and needles all the time. Soothed my soul yesterday evening with some beers and another viewing of Borat subsequent movie film.
Yep, and just when we think it’s gone for good...it keeps coming back for more. Hopefully, there will soon be a light at the end of the tunnel. In the meantime, thanks for the laugh, Debra!
Well done, US, from a country being run by a Trump fanboy! Be proud you managed to get him out - with luck, we can get rid of ours next time, as we have compulsory voting, so it has to be made easy, but you guys fought voter suppression and you won.
And you're terrified it's going to be positive.
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly how it feels right now.
ReplyDeletei know!! i sort of wish i could just go to sleep until the results are decided.
ReplyDeletelove, kisses & magical wishes...

ReplyDeleteThe anxiety and stress are sky high right now...
ReplyDeletePerfect analogy. Dread, pure dread
ReplyDeleteExactly.
ReplyDeleteLOL, you are so right on that!
ReplyDeleteAyep!!
ReplyDeleteYASSSSS! 80% of PA ballots counted as of 2:30p.
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely right.
ReplyDeleteThe symptoms are: unbridled fuckery and widespread corruption. It seems we have it. The cure is at hand, the question is, does the country want it?
XOXO
Not just the whole country. I see the U.S. leaving the Paris climate change accord came into effect today.
ReplyDeleteOh my! We truly are!
ReplyDeleteI wanted a landslide. Silly me. Half the country is demented. Yes, I know. We all need to learn to get along. But how?
ReplyDeleteI'm a little calmer today, Debra. It's probably exhaustion from being so uncalm yesterday. My siblings keep calling to make sure I'm coping. I'm just happy that there is no civil unrest so far. One hour at a time!
ReplyDeleteThe majority of us seem to be A-OK with racism and I find that sickening.
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain, America. Who would have thought there'd be so many brain-dead voters left after 4 years of the orange ass-monkey?
ReplyDeleteWe have our problems here too, yet I AM TRULY THANKFUL TO BE CANADIAN!
Too funny. Too true.
ReplyDeleteHA. But, yes. ;(
ReplyDeleteKeeping everything crossed.

U r not alone, friend D. We r still standing :) Love, cat. https://youtu.be/M5ny5tMsxrs
ReplyDeleteLOL..... I am still hopeful for sanity and decency to win.
ReplyDeleteHa! Ha! Unfortunately it is never re like we have had the STD and we are trying to get rid of it.
ReplyDeleteI needed the laugh, still counting.
ReplyDeleteSo true... counting, counting,Counting.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA! What a great way to put it!
ReplyDeleteNo sleep Tues. night. Feel like I am on pins and needles all the time. Soothed my soul yesterday evening with some beers and another viewing of Borat subsequent movie film.
ReplyDeleteTrump looks like he’s losing, Time to fire him.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what magical drug the orange twitter chief would take for that.
ReplyDeleteeven if he loses..we're not getting rid of him that easy..he's fighting to stay out of jail.
ReplyDeleteThat, my beloved Debra, is the best description of this seemingly perpetual state of anxiety I've ever read.
ReplyDeleteWe were always told that it is only a few rotten apples that spoil the barrel. Well, it turns out that there are a lot more than a few!
ReplyDelete--Jim
ha ha, very good :-)
ReplyDeleteyou said it all :)
ReplyDeletebest wishes anyway !
Yep, and just when we think it’s gone for good...it keeps coming back for more. Hopefully, there will soon be a light at the end of the tunnel. In the meantime, thanks for the laugh, Debra!
ReplyDeleteJulie
Aint that the truth!
ReplyDeleteSaturday morning here: my test results are 'positive' in a good way.
