It's 4 AM

 

It’s almost 4 AM and I can’t sleep, I can’t stand this. It’s all boiling down to the write-in votes. It’s all boiling down to two counties in PA, if Biden loses WI and MI. It shouldn’t have been THIS damned close, this late.

If Trump wins again, I personally will not be affected much. I’m a cis white male in a heavily Democratic state. But I will be weeping anyway, for my gay friends and relatives, for my friends and co-workers of color, for my Chinese born daughter. For the rule of law, for America’s tarnished standing in the world.

For the idea that enough people looked at all the madness in the past four years, and said, “Yes, Trump is still our guy” and elected him again. Because they care more for hatred, anger, and self-aggrandizing ego than for someone who has a chance to bring stability and hope back to our nation.

In four more years my daughter will be of age to vote. And I’m terrified thinking what American will have sunk to when she finally gets the chance.
