I refuse to put my faith in Republicans.
Also, after 2016 I had very little optimism left. Then came 2020, and all ::this:: and it all just evaporated. I am prepared for a Trump nominee to sail through and for him to win re-election. I can’t expect any other outcome or I will break when Trump and the Rs prevail.

My H who is not alarmist at all just said that if 45 is reelected we should seriously try to move out of the US. I dont know how we would find jobs but...wow

I am so scared of this. Couldn’t vote on Merrick Garland but you know fucking Mitch McConnell won’t give a shit about that “precedent” now. But it’s really only a little over a month. That is fast by even Trump asshole standards, right? RIGHT?!? The article I read said it takes on average 70 days to fill a vacancy from nomination to confirmation. The last time it was quicker than that was RBG's nomination. Biden said tonight 70ish is the average.

I dont know how we would find jobs but...wow My mom, who is not prone to hyperbolics, said her and my dad would sell their house and move us all to a different country if they had to. I am pretty steady in my “stay and fight” mentality, but damn if it doesn’t sound nice to just run away.

Why did I have children? The world is terrible. No one woman should have to carry so much desperation in her life or her death. Because when you tell your son that RBG died and explain that she is the one that helped women and he said “that is terrible that she is gone and I am sad”, you have hope for the future. This is my teen autistic son that Has issues expressing empathy. Our kids know better

I don’t want to move to a new country. I want my country to be a safe place for all of us to live. But I’m not confident in the process right now and it sucks. And I’m a privileged white woman. I donated tonight and I’ll call my reps in the morning, but I really don’t know what else to do.

I need to practice my “she lived a long and meaningful life and we should celebrate her” speech before tomorrow. DD is a really big fan.
Maybe we will go down to the SC and pay our respects.

Okay. That’s a little bit of a lie. I’d love to move to Portugal. But only because blurnette989 makes it sound so great and I’m trapped in the Midwest.

Guise, I don’t really want to leave. It was hyperbole. I think we know each other well enough to know I didn’t mean anything by that. But I would also explore citizenship for myself and my children if I could just based on future global economy. It can never be the wrong choice to have more options.

For a small sliver of positivity, the campaign to oust Mitch has already raised 6mm tonight.
