I feel like I am holding my breath...

I am having such anxiety. However, I don't think it will be over November 6. If she wins, he and the minions will be screaming rigged and I think more Jan 6 activities. If he wins, heaven help us all.

Honestly, I'm over it all.

I think the polls are wrong. I think this will be decided on election night (November 5th).

I think the Electoral Map will look like 2012 in Harris' favor, maybe even better.

Yep. Im already making plans for what I am doing Election Day to keep busy.

Good idea. I think I need to try and do that for that week. I’m hoping I can keep from watching results coming in but it will be hard. I’m hoping I can make myself go to bed at a reasonable hour snd get some sleep.

Like an idiot, I've started watching political You Tubes before bed instead of arty videos, and I'm paying for it with a super high anxiety level. I can't listen to any more polling.

In 2020 I saw lots of signs for Trump, a few for Biden - I'm in Mississippi, so solid red.
This time around I've only seen ONE sign. There's a house near my daughter's neighborhood with a sign that says "I'm voting for the felon." Their yard has junk scattered all over, they have a confederate flag hanging in the garage, which is filled with crap. They fit the stereotype of someone who would brag about voting for a felon.

Me, too. I was actually just thinking about making a thread about it on my way home. I am feeling so discouraged and dejected with all of the misinformation and people believing lies (or clearly supporting what Trump and Republicans are saying). How do we combat this? I naively thought things would go back to "normal" after Trump lost in 2020 but clearly things have just ramped up since then. First we need Harris to win in November but how do we move forward? Maybe I should start another thread but how did Germany move forward from the Nazi's? You would think that with the access to so much accurate reporting and information now that we would be better off. But, it seems that social media and the internet has done just the opposite. It is now just a place for people to find the opinion that you are looking for, regardless of if it is true or not. People who listen to Trump are living in an alternate universe and clearly we have not been able to challenge that. They are the ultimate gaslighters in saying that WE are the misinformed, completely ignoring facts. I am just so frustrated!  And I am worried that it will be another 2016 and then what?  I don't think the country or the world can get through another four years of Trump (or Vance). 

After 2016, I will never feel comfortable with an election again. I will always worry. I hope that she has a victory so large that the election can be called that night. Of course, nothing will be good enough for Trump and his supporters. But hopefully this time there will be a plan in place to avoid another attempted insurrection.

I hate this so, so much.

I’m bracing for the worst, that republicans will win the house majority, senate majority and the white house. I have zero faith in the American people. The fact that it is even close is beyond comprehension. I’ll vote blue until I die but I honestly have zero fucks left to give. 

Hoping for the best, still researching expat opportunities elsewhere.

My anxiety is through the roof. I can't talk to my Mom because she's a hard core democrate. I can't talk to my Dad because he's a hard core Republican. And both only watch CNN or Fox right now.

I agree. I was feeling pretty relieved and energized when Harris started her candidacy but we need to get some of that energy back. Everything had gotten even more negative lately and Trump has amped up the lies and it is really getting to me.

Definitely feel the same way. I go back and forth on who I think is going to win. I know I should stop looking at the news.
