My passport was due to expire a year from last month so I took advantage of online renewal almost as soon as I was eligible. I didn't want to risk what might happen on election day. It arrived the other day, but now I worry that it could just as easily be voided by a fascist administration. What really hurts, sometimes, is the glee that people have shown in electing this miserable human being. Yesterday, a college-educated high school classmate of mine, whom I've come to know and like a little bit in the last ten years made a comment (which she's since deleted, so I can't quote it verbatim) on a mutual friend's Facebook page that went something along the lines of "Disciples of Harris need to step back and engage in self-reflection." Disciples! Yeah, a Trump supporter said that. [sigh]
Oh, and as one of those people from around the world that love and support you, you are now and forever Rebekah to me.

The projection on the other side truly is next-level. I'm going to work really hard over the next few years not to get sucked into that toxicity.
I'll do the same, as well as try to understand how we will ever get out from under the coming shitstorm.
