Same. Absolutely the same.

I am getting older and it makes me sickened by the women who did not vote for freedom?! Why shouldn’t we have a woman President?! 💙

Yeah. Gosh this is it perfectly.

Wow. This hit me in the chest. 😭🥺

This! I think about it every day

I was in a haze for at least a week. I remember the days when your candidate didn’t win and you’d say, welp, maybe next time. But this was earth shattering.

I hear ya’. Kept trying not to let myself go there but sometimes I could just picture it and it really, really hurts.

💔😭💔😭💔

She did win.

I as well.

Omg yes

💯

It hurts

Yes! This exactly. The me that exists now is harsher.

You broke me with this one.

I’m still trying to pick up the pieces myself, right there with you.

If you’ve any interest in Broadway music, pull up the soundtrack to SUFFS on Spotify. You’ll rage and you’ll cry, and get at least one good anthem for the fight ahead. 🫂

Same. Still grieving a future we will never know. At least 4 years, anyhow.

Who knows if we’ll even have that, the media is now deciding to report honestly:

Project 2025 was always going to be THE agenda, no matter how emphatically the orange rapist denied it. We will have to activate and engage with everyone that experiences the shit-show that is coming our way, so that order can be restored in '28 Order must be restored.

Agreed, I have a template pinned on my page of how people can write to their congressman because many of us have never done it and it’s not something many of us have been taught.

Actively harassing my horrible representatives is so much fun.

Best I can do is spam call Lizard Man Scott's answering service, and we all know how smarmy he is

🤣🤣

Twice

We had hotel reservations and plane tickets to go to the inauguration with our 5 and 9 year old daughters. Thankfully fully refundable. But canceling those arrangements two days after the election was like going to a funeral. 💔

😦 I’m heart broken for you

Fuck.

There is ONLY ONE current option left to save Democracy - President Joe Biden could leave office for health reasons - Vice President Harris would become President Harris (with immunity thanks to the corrupt SCOTUS) & as The Commander-In-Chief NOT leave office / the White House -> Military Tribunals

Walking around campus on Wednesday felt like I was in a haze. I skipped all but one of my classes because all I wanted to do was sit and cry.

I would be happy right now. Instead of fraught with fear for our nation

Same it’s exhausting being the only people paying attention to what’s going and taking it seriously.

I assume, like me, the same version, only more vigilant.

💯

💯

Idk or not if it hurts more that we were so close

I’m still grieving the country I though was smart enough not to elect a president that attempted a coup, was convicted of 34 felonies, owe $500 in civil penalties stored or nation’s secrets in his bathroom, and thinks Putin is a great leader. I truly will never understand.

I feel the same way. And, I think of our children. I will never understand.

I cried when I found out Trump won bc it feels like all the youth aren't even getting a fighting chance anymore. We never had a chance to start with

Same, I cried for 3 days and 3 nights and that’s not an exaggeration. So awful

I felt empty in a way I hadn't felt since my grandma passed. I was not expecting to feel actual grief. That feeling paired with the MAGA hats all over campus made me feel physically ill. I cannot explain it but I'm sure everyone in this comment understands

Same, it hit me really hard and yea I feel physically ill seeing MAGA and Trump getting away with so much. So disturbing

It would have been nice...😔

😭

Welp. Reading this caught me in the throat. 😔

I know. I had a bottle of “champagne” ready hoping I could breathe knowing P2025 wasn’t going to happen. Now I’m terrified.

I think we should all grieve until this nightmare is over.

If it ever will be. Let’s hope.

💔 I'm old, I was excited.

😪

Don't worry always not lost. Because these big rich companies and rich guys that are running everything are going to feel the pain that you are going to inflict when you choose what not to buy. Trust me it works. Only a little informal organization. Twitter's losing a million people a day.

well put.

😞 makes me so sad… brutal

She is the joyful warrior we all wanted and needed. America is in for a rude awakening. When the mourning has passed The patriarchy will regret its fealty to fascism. #womenUnite

I feel you.

that hits hard

Mourning

Was looking forward to the youngsters dancing in the streets again like in 2020, and a great inauguration.

I was too, and seeing people celebrate around the world. We didn’t have that at all and MAGA knows it. The only people that celebrated was their hateful group.

❤️‍🩹me too❤️‍🩹

I am so SAD about this today.

Well said.

Such a loss. For so many around the world too

twice. the world is a darker, more dangerous place.

😔💔

Profound and gut-wrenching

Wow. Wow. 😥

It's still heartbreaking ~ what might have been💔

It still breaks my brain that she didn’t win. 😢

Me,too. 💔

That's exactly it. Grieving the possibilities and hopes I had. I'm also struggling with losing the vision of what it would have meant for the kids in my family to see a woman who looked like them, who cared about them, in the White House. All of their fights just got exponentially harder.

Same. I was so excited to celebrate.

Me too. I was so excited to put my daughter in front of the TV to show her that women can be anything, including the president. It broke my heart that that moment wouldn't happen.

I would've cried so many happy tears. I would have believed we have progressed as people. She would have been an amazing President.

I cried for three days straight, day and night. It was pretty devastating because I knew where I country would be headed and how bad it would be this time. It changed my views on what how I see my country and the people in it.

Agreed 100%. This administration is like watching a VHS Tape over and over and expect the quality to get better.

This loss hit me worse than 2016. This gutted me.

Also, because of what it says that the worse presidential candidate in history will still be picked over someone who is overqualified for the position who follows the law.

Absolutely. People either memory-holed Trump's abject incompetence or just didn't care because anyone was better than the Black woman. God, I am so *pissed*.

So true, racism, bigotry and misogyny was in the voting booth for so many of these people because voting for him was not rational. Everything they falsely projected on to her turned out to be true for him and they don’t care.

I know right, it’s probably because she was so close.

Yep. I had fantasies about opening up my window and just screaming "KAMALAAAAA!" at the top of my lungs.

🥺😭

So perfectly stated. 😭

My bottle of champagne is gonna sit on my cabinet forever 😭

*in my bar fridge

6 months later Guests: Hey what’s that bottle for? You: Another me in another timeline Friends: Huh? You: Shhh…it’s for my time capsule I’m making.

Mourning what could’ve been. None of my dream future was achieved and likely impossible now.

Mourning our future was/is *REAL.* 🫂🫂🫂💕💕💕

Wow, this hits 😭

Sometimes I just think what my reaction would have been, the people I would have called, the joy and the hope for our countries future I would have.

And that collectively we *finally* took a big step forward

This!

Was going to say the exact same thing 🥹

😭

! 😞

I'm still not over it.

We all do. And that is the greatest tragedy.

Agreed, but mostly I'm still sad for the version of her we'll never know after she won.

So true 💙

👍

True

🥺 It is such a loss for our country.

Same. I was so certain we were on the precipice of a better america.

I feel you!!!! I was supposed to go to one of her Rally's and I fell and hurt myself and was in the hospital and was devastating! Kind of like an unanswered prayer I'm glad I didn't go I would have probably been way worse off than I am now! I'll never understand it ever

Oh wow, so sorry to hear you were hurt. An unanswered prayer is so true 😩.

👍

Oof. This hit me in the gut

We were going to accomplish so much under her Leadership. Things were going to normal. Now, we fight for normal, not for better.

Yep, she was happy!....and is still a resister, so will be happy again.

😭

🥺💔

She won hearts and minds and she is not going away.

I hope you’re right

“Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies” Love this quote from the film The Shawshank Redemption

*

Is it dusty in here or am I just cutting onions? 😩

I'm not sure I'll ever heal. I know I'll never be the same.

Same, this is the thing that’s not talked about. I’ll never feel the same again.

So real.

That goes for BOTH "she"s

Well said. Same 😔

Same 😢

Profound

😢
