trying VERY hard to remember that election night in 2020 had bad vibes for a long time, we forgot afterwards because good things did eventually happen but it sucked for so many hours at the beginning

Remember when Trump was claiming 2020 was rigged because he had an early lead and then they "found" more votes for Biden, and people had to explain how counting works?
It’s going to be less pronounced this year. In 2020 he ran a very specific campaign to only vote on voting day, this year more republicans changed how they voted.
It’s still a thing but who the fuck knows if it’s enough
Maybe pure copium, but Trump running up the numbers in Florida while Harris wins the rust belt is one way how she wins the EC whilst the popular vote gets closer.
yeah i am trying to remember and I think you're right. Things suddenly started to turn around quite late but I don't know, I just want some hope and it's dwindling right now.
yeah. I gave up and went to bed and then a few hours later, turned the news back on and was like "oh? hello". Thing is then I didn't rate Biden particularly and 2020 was such a shit year, I expected Trump to win. I had such hope for Harris this time, so it feels worse, if you know what I mean.
Not to feed into the doomerism, BUT: part of what made 2020 look so bad was they prioritized in person voting, right? But this year isn't the mail in down and early voting up?
It sucked for so many DAYS. I remember the results swinging in the wind for almost a week because of how long it took to count votes in the middle of a pandemic that the party in power did everything possible to make as bad as it could. And yet ...
Trump tried to get the media to call the election for him when he was briefly ahead on election night and later tried to sue states for continuing to count ballots.
Red wave. It starts shitty. Then we win some. Then it get's even worse. Then we've won most years. But I want somone to put me in a medically induced coma.
And how. It feels almost like the country skipped straight from 2016 to 2024, but then you also forget how much Trump was in the wilderness during the period the party was sure DeSantis was the future. There are voters this time who were TEN in 2016. It’s been a long slog.
I have zero memories from 2020 but I keep getting flashes of moments from 2016. I randomly just remembered what I ate for dinner that night. It's weird what sticks.
Yes, but once elections are over US will still be ruled by (semi)feudal laws/rules, where majority means little and often nothing, SC can do whatever they want, one senator can block lots of things, guns are less regulated than tobacco -- just to mention few things ;)

So honestly, I need to move to Norway and battle SAD instead of stay here and fight fascism.

Landscaping shirt for good luck 🤞🏼🤞🏼
By weird chance I was headed down to DC that day. Oh my God.

That was fun. 🙃 I’m fully expecting more of that with even more mail-in ballots this year.
Will hear when all is done but not looking great
