I will stop doomscrolling...I will stop doomscrolling...I will stop doomscrolling...I will stop doomscrolling...I will stop doomscrolling…
4 days before the presidential election and I have never felt this anxiety the weekend prior to a presidential election before.
Not in 2004. Not in 2016.
I fix myself a tuna sandwich. I contemplate what I am going to write in this “Top Comments” space. I start typing.
Back to doomscrolling...even though I really don’t want to.
It occurs to me that this is the essence of what “terrorism” is; not the event itself but the fear, anxiety, depression that event(s) induce into people
I assume that the polls are more or less correct, I think.
Come some time next week, America will have voted for a new president.
And yes, the cathartic release will be WONDERFUL.
But this country’s mentality and even...soul is and will continue to be badly scarred.
And we will need some serious help; many of us are doing the best that we can, though
4 more days.
Comments below the fold.
TOP COMMENTS
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down. Please remember that comment inclusion in Top Comments does not constitute support or endorsement by diarist, formatter, Top Comments writers or DailyKos. Questions, complaints or comments? Contact brillig.
No nominations or highlights tonight.
