The current count, according to the Johns Hopkins dashboard, is 233,734 Americans citizens dead.
The current count, according to ABC News, is 68,360,149 American citizens voted for donald trump.
There is still no logical justification for those two numbers happening at the same time.
What the hell is wrong with us?
Much like American Democracy, my Christmas Cookie scented Yankee Candle is about to die.
If you are wondering, the Christmas Cookie candles from Yankee Candle are the best. Period. End of discussion.
Picture it: Washington, DC:
The election is over. The votes are counted and Biden wins by a hair. The nation either rejoices or despairs as expected. The excitement dies down and people get on with their lives.
December 2020, the electoral college casts their votes and Trump wins a second term.
The horror
The horror
The horror
I needed a landslide win for Biden and an avalanche of wins for Democrats in the House and Senate. I didn’t just want it, I needed it. I needed the American people to stand up against fascism and racism and division and hate and all of it. Instead, we have exactly the same situation we had four years ago. It’s looking like one or two states might flip in favor of Biden and that could put him over the top. Then again, all of the remaining state counts are so close they could all go either way.
My feeling right now though is, win or lose, America lost last night. America was soundly defeated. Even if Biden wins, is this country worth saving anymore? I don’t know.
The current count, according to the Johns Hopkins dashboard, is 232,638 Americans citizens dead.
The current count, according to ABC News, is 65,927,558 American citizens voted for donald trump.
There is no logical justification for those two numbers happening at the same time.
What the hell is wrong with us?
I’m so disappointed in my country. I didn’t expect a result on election night, but I also didn’t expect what results we had would be neck and neck. What the fuck is wrong with you people?
Watching the returns coming in. I can’t help feel like I’ve seen this before. It all feels the same way it felt in 2016 as the states start turning red. I can’t help but think we are in for four more years of fascism.
I don’t understand my fellow Americans. Trump is a criminal. Every word out of his mouth is a verifiable lie. Literally every word. 230,000 Americans are dead because he refuses to take any action on Covid-19.
…and there are American citizens voting for him today. It’s unbelievable. It’s unconscionable. I just don’t understand. It’s bad enough that he and the Russians rigged the last election and it’s pretty much guaranteed he is rigging it again… and American citizens are still voting for him.
How can this happen?
So how have you been spending your election day? In lock down, I hope.
I rewatched The new Mandalorian episode and a few recent Archers and a South Park. I popped into work for an 11:00 meeting. I played quite a bit of electric guitar. I used my new bluesbreaker clone paired up with the Klon Centaur klone I bought back in May. With both pedals set to really low gain, they add up to a pretty freaking wonderful mid-gain tone. With the Klone gain off and the Blooze Maker set very high it’s… not as wonderful, but still pretty cool. I put guitars on two new November songs and three old re-recording songs. My fingers are screwy now so I’m taking a break in case I need to blow off stress steam later.
I’ve done a little doom scrolling on twitter. Not much. I’ve managed to stay away. I don’t know if I’ll be able to stay away for long. The draw of rumor and speculation is strong. Very strong.
Vote out the nazis.
Well kids… it’s time. Four years have lead to this moment. Four years of evil and corruption and fascism and it all comes down to this. Today is the day we learn whether or not our elections are rigged. Again.
Here in Methuen, Massachusetts the polls are open. They will remain open until 8:00pm. That’s 12 hours from now.
Please vote to put an end to this nightmare.
