It appears Trump is going to be the next president of US. I'm not sure such a thread is needed in the first place, but here goes.

Feeling anxious? Desperate? Got the expected result?

What do you think went wrong? What do you think went right? What do you think the future holds?

I'm broken. I'm so tired of it and now I fear it's really all over. It's not 4 years, it's a revelation. We really are full of irredeemable hateful idiots. I'm not ok. I fear for our queer brothers and sisters. I fear for our families and neighbors. For our future livelihoods.

I'm afraid we're not all gonna make it out of this.

I don't know if this is the tipping point. But it feels like a mountain has fallen, in my heart. I want to crawl away. When I was just getting myself together. These next four years will be hell on earth for me. I'm going back on my meds
