Trump is winning all these states and look at the percentages. How?
Edit: many news agency are calling PA for Trump. So we are truly fucked.

As an American who voted against him to save democracy here, I can't even sleep. If it wasn't for my girlfriend and my family I would have probably killed myself tonight. Dark days ahead, of a scale I can't even imagine. The worst part is the feeling of betrayal by my countrymen. I don't belong here anymore, but I can't leave those I love.
Don't kill yourself. Get some sleep and give it some time. You can always die later and maybe there will be an opportunity to do some good in the meantime.
I have a girlfriend and family and yet I'm still considering ending it all. Someone please bring me strength. My entire family is either against me or apathetic and I just can't take it anymore. I've struggled with depression all my life but between losing my job recently and seeing these election results, I think I've reached my breaking point.
No sleep will come my way tonight, either. I plan on continuing to drink and smoke until I pass out but I'm only going to regret this tomorrow once the hangover kicks in and brings me to an even lower low. I don't know what else to do, though. I'm surrounded by fucking idiots who obviously didn't realize just exactly what was at stake for the future of not only the county, but the whole god damn planet.
I know I'm screaming into the void here but like so many other of us, I need to fucking vent. Either help me or ignore this comnent; nothing matters anymore.
Edit: you have no idea how of an impact you've just made with your words. These are dark times but we've all been through worse. Thank you for the hope, and here's to a scary and uncertain future. 🎉😭
Please stay around. We'll need good people for whatever comes. If you end it, nothing good comes from it. If you hang on, and help like-minded people through the storm ahead, then at least some good may come.
Your girlfriend will surely miss you. Please don't do anything rash.
I feel that. I’m going through a divorce right now and I am losing everything. My house, my dog, my wife, my country. I also fear what a Trump presidency will do to our planet. I am here in the void with you, and I can hear your screams. You matter to me. We are surrounded by fucking idiots, and I feel a little less alone thanks to your comment. Something within you motivated you to make this comment, to ask for help. Hold on to that. I hope you will stay here.
I feel for you. Thank you for the encouragement. I don't know what the future holds but at least we're not alone in this struggle. ❤️
Don't let the world fall into the hands of bad people! Good people must find new ways to fight the bad!
Thank you my friend. I really appreciate your words of encouragement. ❤️❤️❤️
All that's required for bad men to succeed is for good men to do nothing.
Be strong. The world needs you.
That was my dad's favorite quote. Funny you mentioned it. It means a lot to me, even if it was a coincidence. Thank you ❤️❤️
Please don't do anything rash. The fight still goes on, the not-fascist part of America needs you! Love and support from France
❤️ I won't because of wonderful people like you. Much love and hopefully we gsn get past these dark days as a whole. ❤️
Find other people who share your views. Provide mutual support. Get organized. You're not alone.
Belirge me, brother, I'm trying. I'm not there yet but one day hope I will find my people. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's honestly not that bad. Yeah, Trump sucks and we'll probably see some regression in a few areas, just like we did in his first term. But we got through that and things are still pretty okay. I'm guessing we'll see some inflation as well, but nothing nearly as bad as we saw just after COVID, and we got through that.
Turn off the news and do things you enjoy. Cuddle with your girlfriend and vent your frustrations. Yes who the President is matters, but it matters a lot less than many people like to claim.
Good luck sir or madame, we'll get through this together.
With this supreme Court they're literally going to roll back everything from the New deal onwards.
Kiss everything American goodbye and welcome to austerity. That's when the right runs something bankrupt then takes away all of the social safety networks to pay for it. While the rich rake it in congratulations were just a bunch of fools
We need reasonable people like you in this chaos.
Please be okay. We can go on <3
Don't mourn. Organize.
