Outstanding piece! I'm scared for the future and a bit overwhelmed by the inconceivable idea that the majority of those living in this country believe a mad man is the right choice to run it. I wonder if they'll feel the same way in a year or two from now?
Oh, definitely! I don't claim to have any answers, but I think a lot of it was driven by both their feelings on Gaza, and their nonstop consumption of social media.
Thank you for this, did you write all night? That’s time better spent than just fretting like I did. It’s dark indeed, I have nothing reassuring to tell my poor daughters. The only thing she did wrong to not win? Be a woman!
I've been ashamed of my American birthplace since 2003. If only I could, I would give my citizenship to a refugee. Today I'm more grateful than ever to have been brought to Canada as a child.
Thinking of you - I feel many of the same worries and thoughts. But i also believe we will get through this (again), damaged but like a phoenix, managing to rise back again in 2028.
You put into words everything I'm feeling and thinking especially as someone with a long history of mental illness. Today I feel emotionally crushed and physically ill. I don't know what will happen. I will do my best to stay in this moment where I am currently safe, but oof. I'm terrified for everyone.

"I believed the fantastic fiction sold to my generation (X) growing up."
You & me both! One of the few things that give me hope is working with people several Gen Z'ers.
They saw how this myth chewed their parents up and spit them out, and they have no taste for any of it.
Yeah, I feel that, but I also saw the demographics of the vote and was shocked how many of the kids voted for Trump. Like SHOOK

Shuddering with you in Australia.
I have been . . .without words. Thank you for putting such eloquent ones to how I have been feeling.

Oh, no. I wrote part of this at an other time. Sending love to you and your family.
Thank you, hang on tight for this ride!

Oh, I wish I could move out.
