While we're all worried about the future of America, the misogynous racists out there must be dying of stress right now

Makes me feel a bit better about my general political anxiousness.

Never assume that they are doing what you would do. They live in a separate reality where they are consistently superior to, and yet somehow also constantly oppressed, by others.
- Good reminder for everyone to vote.
  just under 50% of people voted in Ohio in the 2020 election.
  Trump won by 8%.
  If just 9% of the people who felt like you (what’s the point of voting) had showed up to vote for Biden, that would have flipped the state.
  No single raindrop believes it can make any difference. But together, all those insignificant raindrops can change the course of a river in a single day.

  This comment is beautiful. Always vote.
  Less, beautiful, more wordy:
  Even if you don't manage to flip a seat, your neighbours who feel the same hopelessness as you will look at the results at some point. Your vote will make them know they are not alone. It matters.
  Any change in the right direction is significant, and worth fighting for - voting for it is a no-brainer. The margins might make the difference between people voting or giving up staying at home at the next election.
  They won't you to believe you shouldn't even bother. Don't fall for it.
  Georgia flipped the Senate seat in '22, for the first time since the 90s. It's possible.
  Go vote, folks.
  
  As a Californian, my vote for president is practically moot, but I still vote because my votes for state and local elections are much more impactful, and I try to do at least enough research that I’m not stabbing in the dark, and if I don’t feel informed enough, I leave that one blank.
Why do you think they're stressed?
- The slight possibility a BLACK WOMAN could be president 😱😱😱😱😳😨🫨😬
  
  Oh ... Guess I was really overthinking the question.
  
  She is? Oh. Anyway.
Don't stress over something you can't control
If you really want to know what they're thinking, go to https://patriots.win to find out.
Get ready to meet r/the_donald again.
- I love how their posts are either boiler-plate conservatism or deranged conspiracies and cultish behavior, with no in between.
- What the fuck is this trash?
After Sunday a wave of comforting calm descended over me.
Na, their hatred of anything that isn't a white Christan will sustain them.
How many of these people do you think exist? Ballpark is fine if you don’t have an exact count.
- 74,223,975 as of 2020.
  
  I guess a joke is the only possible answer to this, right? Because you have no idea?
  Have you even considered the question?
