3. It's the death of hope. I am totally depressed. It sucks. I just can't quit feeling like life itself is over.

No. You're not alone. America just FAFO'd, but the trump voters have always had their heads up their asses, so they won't figure it out .... they'll just believe that Joe Biden left us in terrible straights, and that the disaster will be all Joe's fault.

In North Carolina during the election, the republican party of North Carolina was sending out fliers that said Kamala Harris was going to take away Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid. That's when I saw the train coming right at us, and we were all tied to the railroad tracks.
