It’s been a torturous time since Election Day (let alone since 2016…), waiting for the results to break, even knowing that it would likely break for Joe Biden. Finally, this morning, literally seconds after I woke up, they called it. With over four million votes more than trump, Joe and Kamala are heading to the White House! (After a good Cloroxing of that desecrated building).
Today! People are literally dancing in the streets, countrywide! Worldwide! Today, there is joy, something that so many of us have pined for these past four years. For the first time, I don’t feel gut-punched. The dark, heavy dread is lifting. We can exhale.
And now I can have hope for Quinn’s future in a democracy (that we came so close to losing) under the competent leadership of decent people with good character.
Thank you, universe!
