Me. 1000000000% me.

Anyone else have 2016 PTSD that is making them feel scared of being hopeful?

Absolutely! In 2016, many of us thought there was no way in HELL that a scumbag of his proportion could be voted into office. Many of us literally cried when it happened.

Oh, goodness, yes.

I remember laughing about the sad Trump cake picture on Twitter early on election day 2016... and then listening to the BBC world service while I played a game and realizing Trump was going to win when they started talking about how Michigan and Wisconsin seemed to be leaning his way.

the moment virginia wasn't immediately called for Clinton after the polls closed I asked a friend for one of his xanaxes

Hello it's me. I'm the problem it's me.

It's kind of evil, but I want to give the Trumpist a 2016-like trauma this time.

Yep

Oh my, yes. As I told the friend I watched it with “I’m not drinking absinthe at midnight with you this time.”

Then again, he and I are about a 3 hour flight apart now, rather than a 10 minute walk.

Thanks, friend

Someone on Facebook called it “nauseously optimistic.”

I took the option of voting early this weekend because a) it's crazy here (hopefully in a good way![argh]) and b) to give myself a sorely-needed 2.5-day emotional reprieve

For me it's a touch more of a "voted/lived in Broward County during that 2000 recount" sort of thing, accompanied with "DO NOT TRY TO CHECK BROWARD COUNTY VOTING STATS THIS YEAR DO NOT TRY TO CHECK BROWARD COUNTY VOTING STATS THIS YEAR" but uh overall yes.
