That was needed ladybrienne. I'm still nervous as hell, but my stomach hurts a bit less.

Also, if anyone needs a dose of LB optimism today, let me know. I got you. Do it. Please. I was up for about 3 hours MOTN just mind racing. Work is slow this week which is a double edged sword. see my last post

Thankfully my nanny is as much of a raging liberal as I am because I was mildly panicked when I realized she'd be working for me tomorrow and made sure she had a plan to vote. She did. She's a youth (23) and we need her and her friends to get out there.

Same. He's such a quiet, non-showy person and people forget that he's there, but he does a good job and we need him. John James has been flying under the radar recently and I worry about the number of people that will ignore his previous standing with Trump and vote for him thinking they're hiding their racism by voting for a Black man. me 3. I see a lot of support for him even around here though, so *fingers crossed*

As my friend put it, today is like a mix between Christmas Eve and the night before you get your biopsy results.
I have a bit of zen like calm going on - what is good is good and what is true is true. Even if tomorrow doesn't go our way. The arc of history bends towards good and true. But I am preemptively mad at all of the carnage that will happen over the next four years if we don't win.
I am wishing for: an overwhelming motherfucking tsunami of unquestionable blue a senate win an eventual prison sentence for the Occupant.
In that order.

Lol. Kids aren't voting so the newer names won't be represented no matter what Oh well of course but I mean these names aren't even representative of our generations. Otherwise the "most common" names for the female names would be more Emily, Sarah, Stephanie, Ashley, Nicole, Michelle, Jessica, Amanda, etc. Lol, seriously! Where are the 3 Jennifers in my class each year?!

I’m doing my part to help the IN 05 house seat.
My mother and I got into a conversation about voting because I wanted to make sure she knew where to go. She’s pretty conservative. Hates trump but LOVES Pence. 🤯🤬. She also says she can’t stand Biden and won’t vote for him because her taxes will go up. (Spoiler: she makes barely enough for a one bedroom apartment in a medium cost of living area. She just won’t listen to reason). I think I convinced her to vote 3rd party. Literally anyone but Trump, mom!
I also convinced her to vote for Hale for IN 05. At least she said she would. She didn’t have a preconceived notion about her, which helped. And she has a history of bipartisanship. She’s still voting R everywhere else, but 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
It’s Indiana. I have to pick my battles.

Wtf and omg. The County Clerk’s office is quarantined Monday through Friday this week due to a positive Covid case. They will not be able to count ballots dropped off or mailed until Friday or if people are cleared to return. They do have in-person voting available but it is one location for the county.
Just wow to it all.

I hope he feels the hatred, because he deserves it.

ladybrienne I agree with pretty much all of your assessments and appreciate you taking the time to type all that out. Given everything we know, in any other year, I'd be feeling cautiously optimistic. For my own self protection, I'm sitting firmly in the "we have no idea what's going to happen" headspace. But that's just me! If others are feeling optimistic, that's great! I'm hopeful. I'm fighting like hell. But I'm on the Trust No Bitch bench.

Yes, I want T out, obviously. But I really really want those other assholes, who have inflicted so much pain, to suffer. I want them to have no power at all and know that they are the scum of the earth and personally responsible for the garbage that has happened.

Thank you ladybrienne for typing all that out. It is helpful to know what others are seeing around the country. I’m not a pessimist, but I’m also not optimistic when it comes to elections. Even being cautiously optimistic makes me uneasy. Having my vote reflected in where I live in the majority is only something I've seen once (in 2008). @dclondon I really hope Bacon’s seat gets flipped, especially since Sasse’s seat is all but secured.

I am optimistic about the election, and worried about the aftermath. I’m expecting violence. NYC is boarding up too. Toilet paper shortages happened again this weekend. We’re planning to sit tight most of this week. It’s in the air.
I just hope any violence is short lived and not too many people are hurt. I hope there is a blue wave and maybe that, combined with family members talking to each other, will give people pause and this can be a new beginning for our country. I hope most people see how bad things can get and see this as a warning to be more careful about who they align themselves with.
I’m all over the place today. Hopeful and nervous. Trying to stay distracted. Grateful to have you all to go through this with!
