    This reminds me of so many comments from Americans saying how embarrassing Biden is as a president and that no one takes 🇺🇸’Murica🦅 seriously anymore under the Democrats. It was weird to read as a foreigner because I loosely remember what Trump was like. And now here we are again. Hope Americans are proud.

        I wish I knew someone who was disappointed. The only two people in my life that aren’t Trumpers are my daughter and her fiance. Everyone else thinks that gas will get back to $1/gallon and food prices will return to pre Covid levels on Jan 21.

          Sheeeesh, sorry to hear you’re living deep in the red. Proud of my state for being a spot of blue in a sea of red, but hot damn that election map was bleak.

          It’s so wild how absolutely bonkers the political climate has become just in my lifetime. There was some real optimism when I got to vote for Obama as an 18 year old. Would’ve never seen all this coming…

      Honestly, in my social circle we’re all kinda treating it like this… strange, self-inflicted, natural disaster. Like we can’t even really joke about it, still. It’s like we all know it’s gonna be bad, the only question is how bad it’s going to be. There’s a lot I’m hoping is over-reaction, but honestly that’s a pretty shitty thing to hope for and a hard hope to maintain all things considered.
