I keep telling myself that we have been through this midterm bullshit before and prevailed in presidential elections. I remember 1994's stupid Contract with America fuckery the repubs pulled. That was year I managed a state house campaign and we only lost because my guy had a D after his name. I had to take three days off of work after the election because I was so devastated. The Rs won big in that midterm but completely imploded two years later.

But yeah, completely sick here. We have the WORST fucking governor. Such an asshole embarrassment and now we get his smugness for four more years. *cries* I do think there are signs of hope and yes, when people get to vote directly on the issues, they tend to be more progressive. FUCK THIS SHIT THOUGH.

And that man. HOly crap is he terrifying.

((hugs)) I am stunned by this election too.
