VGC, ASSEMBLE!
Your favorite enemy from within here to finally give you my thoughts on this election.

Great post! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I agree her baggage was a big problem "interview on The View wherein she claimed she "can't think of a thing" she'd have done differently from Biden had she been president instead" That was the wrong thing to say and she stuck with it during her campaign. People did not want another Biden term, so why would she keep herself close to Biden, dumb.
Anyway stay safe, focus on your mental health. I'm glad you didn't succumb to despair. 2 people from a friend's gay choir in Seattle took their own lives after the elections :( Tragic. They performed on AGT a few years back, now they didn't see the point in life anymore.
Things will get better again. As you said in your post, it's mostly reactionary voting against all the stuff that has been happening in the past years. Fallout of the pandemic, climate change wreaking more havoc and the current wars the US is involved in whether they want to or not. It was indeed too much to overcome, people want results now, one candidate promised immediate results.
And just as in 2016, a blitz of targeted add campaigns works. That's the new reality. With AI and other tools it's easy nowadays to send custom targeted adds to different groups of people to gain their vote. Fact checking is rare, promises are easy to make. Lying is the accepted norm now in politics.
Next 4 years won't be easy, but there's plenty room here in Canada if you feel like moving!

Thanks kindly. 
I'll be alright, I'm just not motivated to do politics much anymore. Not suicidal or anything, don't worry. This ain't my first rodeo. Life will go on.
So sorry to hear you know of people who've taken their own lives because of the outcome!
