In reply to the discussion: What's your level of anxiety about the election? [View all]The Madcap
(125 posts)71. I just want it to be over.
My wife is a lot more worried about it than I am, but I'll admit that it's a bit scary. Not only because of the Orange Menace, but also because so many others running for office are riding the same crazy train. It's like half the country doesn't care what the policies are as long as they devastate the people they don't like.
It's been a horrible decade from Tea Party to MAGA. It makes me sick inside that my college-age daughters haven't seen a sane election cycle in their lifetimes. It's just a football game now to so many in our country. Just shameful.

High because a lot of Americans believe and will vote for a lying, narcissistic sociopath.

Feel we have the best team right now, but anything can happen. So I won't be calm until final votes are counted. GOTV.
