Off the top of my head:
I’m scared shitless. For our country, for the world, for Ukraine, Gaza, NATO. For our civil rights, for the marginalized, for women, children, babies, immigrants, for the rule of law – for things I can’t even come up with now because I’ve only had 3 hours of sleep. This doesn’t make sense. Less voter turnout than 2020? I don’t think so. I’m far from a conspiracy theorist, but I think Musk, Putin, et. al, interfered with this election. I pray that the DOJ will look into this.
On a personal note: we live on our union pension and social security. We have a hefty mortgage payment. If Social Security and Medicare are cut and unions are eliminated – all of which is laid out in Project 2025 – we will lose everything. Everything. I hadn’t planned on being destitute in my old age.
And so will millions of Americans.
I’m babbling, but that’s what is running through my mind.
That’s all for now.
God help us all.
I am horrified. Shocked and scared.
Take Care,
Kaye
I am, too.

If it’s any consolation, I’m feeling the same. Absolutely sick and disappointed and frightened. I truly feel like I cannot bear to live through this. And I am so disappointed in my country. Kamala Harris should be proud, she ran a perfect campaign and she was let down.
She was, indeed.

praying.

Thank you, Kathy.

I can’t stop crying. Not one minute of sleep last night. My head is throbbing, my heart is broken. Claudia, I feel as if I don’t belong here or anywhere. We’re retired living on a small pension and social security. Our grief is so palpable, the dog was throwing up this morning. She knows. She’s sick, too.
I can’t. I just can’t.
Thank you for posting today.
Sending you a big hug, Kelli. I understand. May God help us all.

What have we done?! This is going to be so much worse than the last time.
Much, much worse, Margaret.

I checked in early because I wondered how you could possibly post today. “I Can’t” is all that is being said in my head, too.
Over and over and over.

How could we be so wrong?
I’ll never understand this – never
I can’t get my head around it. It doesn’t make sense and it certainly doesn’t match up with the turnout we were seeing.

and definitely to God helping us all! thanks be to God!
