I have a pit in my stomach. I went on Twitter before and was so disappointed and disgusted at the posts. Hillary was right they are more than just a basket of deplorable’s, they are an embarrassment and an abomination on our country.
Even if a non-MAGA wins president in 2028, the damage to this country has already been done since probably 2020. The United States is a lost cause, like Canada is.
Sad time is over. Now we go back to work to reestablish the US to the country we have always aspired it to be...fair, honest, non discriminate, lawful & open to all who can help us get there.
I get the sentiment but the DNC did unequivocally lose. The consultants who have done nothing but fail upwards for a decade need to go. Campaigning with Cheney Neocons and dropping all of the “we will make price gougers cry” rhetoric was an utterly insane move.
Congress failed,
the Democrats failed,
Biden and Harris failed !!
The nation is now at the mercy of an egomaniacal narcissist and insurrectionist !!
America is now at its lowest point in history.
Many of us are heartbroken! There are days when I don't know how we'll get it together enough to fight for this country and save our democracy. For anyone wondering, Trump will not vacate once he's in the oval office. He will stay and our democracy will die if something isn't done.
It’s the despair and a complete lack of rage that has led to this reality. Instead of standing up and fighting for this republic, the populace will walk voluntarily into a fuckin rail car. You reap what you sow.
I was so high attending the convention - a message of joy and hope. I was so sure she was going to win - hard to understand. I look at those that voted for the orange vile guy and I see him in them. I only hope that we can come out the other end of this dark tunnel we are about to enter! 💔💔
The best way to deal with the sad that I've found is to stay focused on what you CAN control to make life better and stable for your friends and family. Go off-grid. Start a market garden. Learn how to repair your own stuff. Purge everything that isn't essential. Don't be owned by Trump's economy.
I'm extremely sad and morning the death of democracy and truth as we enter into a fascist regime with the malignant narcissist and the billionaires that have propped him up.
If you and many other pundits could have voiced against the cold blooded genocide enablers such as Biden and Kamala, we might have a different election outcome.
Unconditionally supporting war criminals inside Democratic party is not protecting democracy.
It is so heartbreaking to see criminals, crooks, cheats, and creeps taking power just to enrich themselves, with no care or thought about the least of US.
I don't think we are as sad about Trump winning an election as we are to find out such a large part of America is ok with evil as long aa eggs are cheap.
My heart broke November 7, 2024. She is no longer my hero. She failed to uphold the Constitution today. Now I’m filled with determination to take back our country. To hell with all of them. No more politics as usual. Maybe her loss was our blessing. Time to wake up, woke. 🇺🇸💜🇺🇸
A day of great shame for this country - we may never ever recover from this. Congress didn’t even TRY addressing the 14th amendment today. Dem’s are so worried about appearing “normal” they allowed this coup to be completed today. #shameonCongress
They voted against their best interests all for hate. It wasn't about the price of eggs or gas. MAGA hates the same thing trump does & to them that is enough. VP Harris showed the world what grace & love of Country was about today. Damn she would have been great President. What have we become?
We haven't changed and trump is already breaking his promises!
He hasn't changed either - still lied and deceived to keep his fat ass out of prison and too many voted on fake promises!
I'm sad when my kid is sick, I'm sad when I lose an old game save file or miss that magical 5 min window when an avocado is ripe. I'm not sad when democracy dies before our eyes, furiously disgusted yes but not sad.
make it a point to have your Rolodex be the best Rolodex this side of the Pecos. partner 🤠 🏇
I imagine it would take two weeks? so by the end of January I'll need reports turned in on every government official that directly rules you (the Royal you, like the Royal we)
I was trying to figure out why I'm in such a funk today. I totally forgot that it's inauguration day. We have a whole country full of people whose hearts are broken, who feel defeated & unheard, while collective feelings of fear & dread spread throughout the world for these next 4 years to come.
We went through this 8 years ago with Hillary. But this is worse- we actually know how bad he is. And while he's no smarter, his acolytes have learned a few things. It will be worse.
We are all horrified because we know that this is the end of our democracy, of the great experiment, and white supremacy won. It’s disgusting and devastating. All I want to do is protect my children from all of this, somewhere where they will be safe to be themselves and follow their dreams.
So many of us are a hard cross between extreme gullibility and extreme cynicism. As a population we’re also divided between monumental dumbness and serious smarts. The extremely dumb worship the thieves with Biblical devotion and despise the honest with murderous intensity.
She shouldn’t be sad she should be angry! She should be working with the younger democrats to make the old step aside. They had 4 years to get the word out and Buttigieg was the only on getting it done. Sick of Schumer and Jeffries, 4 more years of nothing! Old has to go.
I’m so depressed, I haven’t left my bed. The only highlight was seeing our beloved VP Harris, while certifying the election, show more class in those short 30 minutes, than MAGA will ever produce in 4 years! How I’ll miss her!
There are days i cry at what we have allowed to happen. Then I remember a bur in a saddle and what it does to a horse. We need to be burs. It's time to remind EVERY senator and congressman who they work for, who they represent. Remind them about legislating. Ultimately we are the bosses.
I still think We The People need to demand hand recounts. I don't know if we can still do that yet though. I kept hoping the @DNC or @VP would have pushed for it.
If you can find out what we can do, please let me know. I want to, I’m willing, but beyond mid-terms…🤷♀️ Those may and/or may not be viable at this point. Choosing my actions as we are today.
I thought I was doing better. BUT.... Yesterday was rough. Another Jan 6th passed, and I cried off and on all day because the man who caused ALL OF THIS is coming back to the WH. It is pathetic and humiliating that this is what Americans chose. JFC.. I'm sad, mad, and disgusted with humankind.
Mourning time for what could have been is over. Time to focus instead on what can be. Carry that sadness with you. In this case it is a necessary burden.
I’m sad also for your country.😢
Keep going forward there is light after darkness.
Keep your Strength for the journey ahead together.Hold each other up and America will get through that challenging journey.
Prayers for Hope Love and Joy and most of all Light on your to you all

Not crazy, you are hopeful. Remember, the rapist is old, had a bad case of covid and might have got to close to the parasite in Kennedy’s brain. I heard they jump😂. Think positive, they want you to fall due to lies and fear mongering.
No, just sick of the orange rapist. No one can predict when their last day will be but, the older we get the closer we get to the final hour. I will definitely celebrate as I never mourn the departure of dictators.
Peter - I stand by you and all my other Democratic family out there, instead of celebrating what could have been we will now have to brace for what will be, Every Democrat need to hold their heads high and know it wasn't our fault that these next 4 yrs. is just going to be a replay of 2016 - 2020.
However, I am partially filled (about 37%) with hope of what can still be, and that is because of people like you, @petermorley.bsky.social, who continue to shine their light on important issues, topics, news, and ideals.
I feel just like you. She and Tim would have been so good for America.
Now we have crazy threats from Trump about Canada, Mexico, Panama and Greenland! It is all DISTRACTION by Trump! He didn't solve the Russia Ukraine war in two days as he said he would. And, the cost of living crisis? No action.
That all of it is absolutely unnecessary. That following “norms” in the face of a legislative
coup d'é·tat is ridiculous. A felon should never be president, and having to say that shouldn’t be treated as a radical statement. A traitorous criminal will do obvious harm.
To be fair Round 2 of Trump the 💩show will probably be the downfall of the USA and the rebirth may be better. Probably wishful thinking on that last part.
The pain and sadness we are beginning to feel over the outcome of the 2024 elections will be proportionally increased by the many damaging plans that the incoming government will deliberately impose. I only hope that there will be free and fair elections in the future.
America chose pure sewage over Diamonds and gold, I can't feel anything about the fact that a huge swath of Americans are complete fucking morons, proud bigots, racists, rapist lovers, traitor supporters, and collectively dumber than a steaming pile of sewage.
THIS! I had to take a break because of how depressing it was. We are doomed, I don’t know if we’ll be able to recover from this. The other side will never understand us. They don’t give one shit about us, that’s the thing.
It was a very sad 😢 day Peter! I was hoping that somehow he would not be confirmed! All that pain we saw on our television screens! I remember sitting on my bed, watching, crying, and thinking how could this be happening in America?! My heart 💔 broken; then President Biden healed us!
Trump/MAGA is openly promising to destroy democracy, replace it w/fascism. Trump is a convicted felon, ineligible to be POTUS under 14th Amendment. Dems are ignoring MAGA plans & the law bc they don't want to look like MAGA. So they sacrifice us & democracy.
It's breaking my heart going a lot further back--to Nov-Dec 2000, and the 5-4 Rehnquist SC, and Katherine Harris and Jim Baker and the 'Brooks Brothers Riot'. Republican ratf*ckery has been endemic to presidential politics for decades
Tremendous loss and missed opportunity to grow and prosper with Kamala. What's looming in two weeks is the beginning of a period of darkness, but we're all in this together and will persevere.
I’m sad and happy that our flag is flown half staff to reflect President Carter but mostly for the depression trump has put our country both mentally and soon financially.
She’s not sad. She is well aware of the fireworks that are about to happen with Trump and his mob, now that the congressional branch is out of the way. The spotlight is now on the FBI, CIA, DOJ, DOD &NSA. Showtime folks!
Did ya wonder why Vance, MTG&Johnson weren’t smiling at their win yesterday?
Well, no one in charge is willing to do anything about it. Time for an amendment to the 1st amendment. If we keep allowing the brainwashing of the masses it is going to end for US real soon.
If you take a look at the election results the majority of Americans are getting what they voted for. So I doubt they’re sad. It’s a bunch of people who lost the election that are sad and bitter. But look at the bright side, we may avoid WW3.
…for what SHOULD have been…if our fellow voters had only had a brain, heart, and the nerve. We’re on a yellow brick road to hell and the witch is orange, not green.

Whelp... guess it's time for you genocide supporters to find out, after fucking around
Hell NO!
I am pissed that the Constitution means NOTHING NOW
Goddamn it!!!
No HONOR, NO LAW in a nation of Laws
only they look normal
Unconditionally supporting war criminals inside Democratic party is not protecting democracy.
Time to look hard at the mirror.
There was no momentum, a positive energy in any State. A slow painful death.
So damn sad!
At a slower pace, for Biden too.
But not Hillary or Harris.
Either of them wouldve been an excellent President.

Well, not me, but you get the point.
He hasn't changed either - still lied and deceived to keep his fat ass out of prison and too many voted on fake promises!
tell me your bluemap!
• school board and teachers
• township management
• district management
• state senators and reps
• Federal senators and reps
• SOOOO! many more!! 🥵 📝
do any of them know how to make toast?

Even more sad to see how Harris had so easily given up.

I'm fucking pissed off as hell! 🤬🖕🏼
I will NOT kiss ass, a ring, bend the knee, or ACCEPT a motherfucking thing from this asinine regime.
PERIOD.
However, I am partially filled (about 37%) with hope of what can still be, and that is because of people like you, @petermorley.bsky.social, who continue to shine their light on important issues, topics, news, and ideals.
Keep on keepin' on, Holmes - we're with you!
Now we have crazy threats from Trump about Canada, Mexico, Panama and Greenland! It is all DISTRACTION by Trump! He didn't solve the Russia Ukraine war in two days as he said he would. And, the cost of living crisis? No action.
It’s a sad day for Canada
coup d'é·tat is ridiculous. A felon should never be president, and having to say that shouldn’t be treated as a radical statement. A traitorous criminal will do obvious harm.
I am repulsed at the vileness of republicans and their voters, and repulsed at non-voters who don’t give AF.
Apathy, misinformation, oligarchy, and failed-gatekeeping is what landed US-All in this mess.
After a few current event exchanges, it was obvious she knew nothing.
She would not change the channel.
She lost a customer and I am sad.
Did ya wonder why Vance, MTG&Johnson weren’t smiling at their win yesterday?
Certifying the Coup.
