The absolutely horrifying and surreal thing right now is having no idea if in about 20 days I’ll be living a relatively similar life under an upcoming Harris presidency, or be working on the second stage process to move overseas, completely uproot my entire life, sell all my belongings and home, and leave my family, job, and friends before the US crumbles into an authoritarian and anti-LGBT & anti-women theocratic state. It makes it tough to like, anything. And somehow, despite all the scandals, evil, incompetence, and cruelty, that is currently almost a statistical coin flip.
@hacks4pancakes I cannot understand how it's still a coin toss. I don't understand how half the US look at the options and still vote for him?!
I'm sorry for how stressful it must be. I'm over the pond, and it worries me what might be coming, and what effect it might have.
@hazz223 @hacks4pancakes well, his last term coincided with a brief pause in the world's descent into Iran/Russia madness, although I admit that could just be a coincidence.

Plus, it is just not that they would prefer the GOP to be in charge imo.
Anything they can do to weaken the political capital of the POTUS is beneficial to them since that ties his/her hands on how he can respond to their provocations as we've seen during this administration.

I just edited a sentence to change a sentence something like, A POTUS needs his approval rating to be high enough to be able to take some actions.
I changed the his to his/her because after next month POTUS will no longer be a single gender job!
@benroyce @ech @hazz223 @hacks4pancakes Iran loves that tfg did away with the JCPOA but he did assassinate Sulemani.
@ech @hazz223 @hacks4pancakes
i'm not a conspiracy theorist, but i feel like russia and iran understand the value of acting in a way that hurts the current party holding the presidency, and potentially returning trump, to their benefit
