I thought we were doomed

Honestly, I figured this election was going to spell the end of American democracy. Thank all the little gods I was wrong.

Thank you, Black Americans. Thank you Millennials. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

My gratitude is boundless and as unending as the universe.

Seconding that. Thank you, citizens, for turning up and letting the deniers know that no, you still care about democracy, thank you very much. Let's hope the fever has broken, and that the next two years will see a much-needed fracturing of the Republican party into conservatives and extremists.

Right?

Although my little pocket of the world scares me, as do the loony-tunes we've elected, but it could have been so very much worse if the rest of the country were as whackadoo as my neighbors are. *crisis averted*

Yes, lots to be thankful for! And people to be thankful to!

I sooo agree with you all!! Thankful that much has prevailed!

I was reallllly hoping we'd win at least one of the top three places here in TX, but we at least made a hell of an impact, and I'm looking forward to things improving even more next round. We certainly don't need anyone worse than what we've already got ;P

Even Gen Z got in on the action this time around! It's pretty funny that a few conservatives went viral shrieking that we need to raise the voting age. By the time they'd passed a new constitutional amendment to set it to 21 again, everyone they were afraid of in this election would be over the age line anyway!

I am glad for you all...

Absolutely! OMG, even from here in the UK this is the first time I've felt optimistic about Trump's 2024 coup attempt failing in a while.
