Trump is winning all these states and look at the percentages. How?

Edit: many news agency are calling PA for Trump. So we are truly fucked.

    As an American who voted against him to save democracy here, I can’t even sleep. If it wasn’t for my girlfriend and my family I would have probably killed myself tonight. Dark days ahead, of a scale I can’t even imagine. The worst part is the feeling of betrayal by my countrymen. I don’t belong here anymore, but I can’t leave those I love.

      Don’t kill yourself. Get some sleep and give it some time. You can always die later and maybe there will be an opportunity to do some good in the meantime.

      I have a girlfriend and family and yet I’m still considering ending it all. Someone please bring me strength. My entire family is either against me or apathetic and I just can’t take it anymore. I’ve struggled with depression all my life but between losing my job recently and seeing these election results, I think I’ve reached my breaking point.

      No sleep will come my way tonight, either. I plan on continuing to drink and smoke until I pass out but I’m only going to regret this tomorrow once the hangover kicks in and brings me to an even lower low. I don’t know what else to do, though. I’m surrounded by fucking idiots who obviously didn’t realize just exactly what was at stake for the future of not only the county, but the whole god damn planet.

      I know I’m screaming into the void here but like so many other of us, I need to fucking vent. Either help me or ignore this comnent; nothing matters anymore.

      Edit: you have no idea how of an impact you’ve just made with your words. These are dark times but we’ve all been through worse. Thank you for the hope, and here’s to a scary and uncertain future. 🎉😭

        Please stay around. We’ll need good people for whatever comes. If you end it, nothing good comes from it. If you hang on, and help like-minded people through the storm ahead, then at least some good may come.

        Your girlfriend will surely miss you. Please don’t do anything rash.

        I feel that. I’m going through a divorce right now and I am losing everything. My house, my dog, my wife, my country. I also fear what a Trump presidency will do to our planet. I am here in the void with you, and I can hear your screams. You matter to me. We are surrounded by fucking idiots, and I feel a little less alone thanks to your comment. Something within you motivated you to make this comment, to ask for help. Hold on to that. I hope you will stay here.

      It’s honestly not that bad. Yeah, Trump sucks and we’ll probably see some regression in a few areas, just like we did in his first term. But we got through that and things are still pretty okay. I’m guessing we’ll see some inflation as well, but nothing nearly as bad as we saw just after COVID, and we got through that.

      Turn off the news and do things you enjoy. Cuddle with your girlfriend and vent your frustrations. Yes who the President is matters, but it matters a lot less than many people like to claim.

      Good luck sir or madame, we’ll get through this together.
