If anything the commenters are arguing that people aren't stressed enough by the election.
Jesus, I must be taking crazy pills. We've been hurtling by "reasonable disagreements" for decades and now one of the two possible candidates for president is talking about immigrants "poisoning the blood of our nation" and using the military on the "enemy within". That is neither hyperbole, nor exaggeration, nor straw man.
I consider myself fairly well-informed, and no amount of coping mechanisms can change material reality. When someone shows you who they are, believe them.
This article is weird. It's not like the issues the extreme right wing are no longer hypothetical - they're completely visible and have been for awhile. People have been dying because of the policies and actions from Republicans for awhile now, such as abortion laws as just one example.

I fear that whatever shitstorm happens after one of the candidates wins won't be enough to compensate for all the overdramatic drivel I (mostly unwillingly) experienced leading up to this election.
Fingers crossed for a Jan 7th (liberal edition if circumstances force it), but this time they actually do something, like toppling the Washington monument with ropes for example. That would be cool.

Because that was lollers as frick

Chaz/Chop was amazing, but I don't see it happening again. Everyone saw what kind of unmitigated disaster it was. Some r-slurs may try, but I doubt anyone is going to allow them to do it again like before.
