Thank God! Can't wait for trump to be gone and the drama to stop! Just knowing trump is going to have a tantrum though.

He will end up with many more votes than what he needs. Probably 306). Trump is going to have a huge temper tantrum)
Trump will be gone, but the drama won’t stop.
Let JOY ring out across the 85006 and across the nation! Trump has been made little more than an unfortunately bizarre asterik in American History! I am sitting outside Safeway - off today and how appropriate (!!!) and was coming here as a cold front is moving through and it's finally cooling off a bit here - enough for cookouts with chimerias tonight and I was buying some precut firewood for such. And now we have a reason to celebrate!!! I am even posting here before calling SO - who also found work but PT only for the moment - stocking at an electronics retailer.
I wanted to post here first to share my double joy - not only in the Biden win but also in Arizona remaining blue even if called a bit early. Let JOY ring out through the 85006 and the nation. Rob
Yes indeed! And with good reason!!! It's true that I find myself living in a nation in which enough of the population voted for the Unfortunate Asterick In History Man that the election was a nail biter in the first place - the reality of America is that Donald Trump's behaviors are/were acceptable to some not small percentage of this society's population.
What does this say about the prospect of long-term cohesion/unity as an intact country going forward? What does this say regarding the long-term viability of this citizenship?
Though I definitely feel joy and share joy with many - I also realize this is nowhere near over yet and the issues of long term cohesion slash unity as a nation/viability of the citizenship indeed remain.
But let the parade commence! At least a start towards something slightly saner took place today! For that I am grateful. Rob
I'm getting on bus soon to get back home - I'm sure we'll be doing something in the neighborhood to celebrate. So happy that Biden was elected and I have today off to celebrate with others! It is indeed a day of joy - but what I posted before I hold to, also.
This all is far from over yet. Trump has caused so much rancor, bitterness, division - has (former) allies distrusting us and has the world laughing at us/pitying us. Also the in your face belligerence of the Trump era? I fear the GOP may hold onto this as a new norm to try their hand at yet more destruction and division.
This is not over yet. But today we start the long, ardous road to even beginning to heal as a nation. As Martha Stewart would say - it's a good thing. Rob
And beyond that. Even after we stop hearing Trump’s name every day, there will be drama. The squad versus the establishment in the Democratic Party on any number of fronts. The politics of infection with a new slant. Rules fights in the Senate. Identity politics writ large. Fights over the direction of the economy among people who think the economy can be directed. The rage of disillusioned revolutionists. The Durham report. Stay tuned.
