So, what's the tea, sis? The tea is, well, there's actually no quick tea today because there's only one thing that we can fucking really talk about today. Yes i wanted to talk what's on everybody's mind the results of the election regardless of where you stood leading up to it the votes have been cast the ballots counted and now we have a clear view of our path forward we're recording this what is today november 6th yeah the day after the Wednesday. This is fresh.

So first, before we have thoughts, what did y'all do last night? Did y'all watch and not watch? Were you avoiding? What was y'all's vibe yesterday? So I already was like mentally tapped out because I did early voting so I was removing myself from the madness. I did my duty. Yep. I was like, because I had an eerie feeling that, Yeah, I had that feeling. So I was like, you know what? Let me just go smoke blunts and go watch movies.

Stay in the house, turn off my phone. I ain't trying to read the results. It was like, hey, let's go to a watching party. Nah. I'm good. Don't want to do it. I voted last night. Oh, you went to a poll? Yeah, because, well, I just, I never want to vote.

But i mean like i don't feel like filling out the ballot or whatever and then like and like sending it in that way because i don't trust like the ballots to not be exploded or whatever so i would like rather go on the day so then we went we're gonna go on monday night but then we we were too late so then we went on tuesday night and we went with our neighbors and And there was one polling center that we were supposed to go to. And it was so packed that they sent us into a little smaller area.

But it only had two booths. And then it was taking fucking forever. So it was like 6 o'clock. And we didn't really get out of there, I think, until like, I don't know, 6.50?

Damn, that's a long time. and it was like taking for I don't know maybe I'm at work exaggerating but it took forever and I'm like damn are all these people gonna be able to like fucking vote but I'm obviously everybody kept telling me yes they can legally, I was like but damn I was like this is packed I was like this is too much they should have like way more fucking voting booths how long you feel like you were standing in line.

I think we were i was fucking standing standing in line or sitting in a chair in line for at least like 20 minutes that's ridiculous and then there was and it was like packing up and it was like people were just like packing in i'm like what the oh shit y'all kind of y'all kind of pushing it that's like when motherfuckers closing down because there was another room that was supposed to be the bigger center like the original center and we were supposed to be like a like a little like drop

like excess people so they can send to but I'm like this excess is like excessive, and the big one was already shut down or it was just overflow, so it was like fuck y'all need more fucking booths so we voted it was stressful and then, yeah I concerned myself mainly with the measures oh yeah I tried to distract myself with like thinking about those things and then i voted but then my fiance was like he wanted to be like addicted to the

screen and like checking it every second and i was just like nope no spoilers yeah so basically we got home and then i what the fuck happened did we eat i don't even remember it blacked out.

I think i just went to bed early and i was like good night i'm not trying to think about this yeah what did you do I worked that day and it was actually my first, day back to work from vacation so it was a very hectic day and i'm glad i planned it that way because it didn't give me like the opportunity to like be worried or but to be honest i really didn't care about this election either like i wasn't interested in voting i didn't want to vote because

it was like what's the point like i don't want any of these candidates and yeah i could vote third party but like they're not even gonna get what they need in order to get the resources right you get to get like five percent of the vote right and like who i want to vote for wasn't gonna get five percent of the vote so it was just kind of one of those moments of like this feels useless but i try to focus on the props too because like i need to focus on like.

Local government i guess right but anyway so yeah i did i did mail voting so i didn't worry about voting that day but i also intentionally did not start looking at any of the results stuff probably until like eight maybe nine right when our polls closed oh because i wanted to see like what was happening and i looked i think at the time they're pretty even and then i just i just kind of checked every once in a while but in the past i've gone to like election watching parties i went to

nino's once when hillary lost the presidency was it did they do that yeah at your old la apartment i didn't have this memory god i'm so blacked out from all this dang we did that go on yeah yeah so like in the past i've been like really in tuned and watching them from like the minute polls start closing like seats are closing the east coast i'm like oh let me see what the results are in but this year i'm like whatever but i stuck around and i saw.

Them declare like Trump's winning Pennsylvania and then a few moments later his speech and I've never personally watched one of Trump's speeches live I only seen them like on like TikToks and stuff like that like weeks after days after they happen so to witness it live and just I'm like oh like you really talk like this is really how you navigate the world like you, like you're here and then you take 10 steps this way and then bring it back

and i don't understand how or what this tangent had to do with anything so it's very interesting to see his speech, yeah so yeah that's what what i did and i think i stayed up maybe until like 11 or 12 and whatever whenever trump did his speech only watched a little bit of it and then went to bed, how did you find out i woke up this morning what was the first like so i was like because i didn't i didn't watch any of it so i was like i just find out when i wake up in the morning and see,

you know when i do my daily morning routine i woke up put on instagram and i think like the first post i seen was like do you know the kara the trans female from like the south.

She is originally the leave britney alone back in the that fucking i forget right but they're now a trans female and so that's the first post i've seen and i did i was just post strolling and all i seen was like a caption that said how i how trump won in the something something and i was just like phone off got up used the bathroom worked out and just continue to do my daily fucking morning routine and i was just like well i fucking had a i had

an inkling because i was like these motherfuckers on saturday i don't know if you were well yeah i don't know if they did this over there where you stay at there was a trump rally or a parade per se i don't know they started on Ocean and came all the way down into like Belmont Heights down to PCH and to going towards Orange County. And it had to be at least about like 30 cars, but just like Trump flags everywhere. And honking the horn is like, this is like at 1231.

Yeah. So I'm like, even before that, I felt like the world is the world. Like, you know what I'm saying? But I was like, I seen this. I'm like, yeah, I just got this feeling like this is not going to be looking good. It's going to either be close or yeah. So I pretty much was like, fuck. And so then I just stopped thinking about it for the rest of the day. I was like, we had a meeting and they mentioned it for a quick second.

But boom, I'm like, you know what? because we still a lot can change from here until january you know i'm saying but also i felt like she shouldn't have conceded so quickly i but i don't see but i also don't know because i think they said like the numbers was what 277 to 230 or some shit yeah so i was like i guess it's not close enough to call so it's just like but i'm also like what if those numbers was reversed he would have

did the same shit though like you know what like you got to be thinking like that motherfucker but you know i believe in karma so we'll see what these next four years gonna be looking like yeah i woke up from my nightly wake up and then to go to the bathroom and i'm sitting on the toilet and i'm reading a text from my fiance and it said basically like you're gonna wake up to a lot of bad news but i love you and i was just like oh i was like.

He's like so right that's cute with like damn i gotta and then i opened up instagram and the first thing was like pink news and it said trump has won and i'm like yeah i was like as if but like yeah like you were saying like i don't know i kind of felt like he might have won he might was gonna win too because just have like i just hear so many people are just so many like vocal trump people. That I hear them more in, like, the world. Like, in my, like,

day-to-day life. When I got into the world, I hear people who are vocal for Trump. But I don't hear people who are just, like, going off about Kamala, like, when I walk out into the streets. Yeah. So, I was like, hmm. Yeah. Feeling like, this might not, not. But I was also kind of, like, also kind of, like, well, what the fuck?

Like, my Instagram or my social media definitely made it seem like we had this in the bag right definitely felt like it was supposed to be a landslide for kamala and it was like what yeah so i was kind of like shocked to see like all the red on all those states all those states yo i was like you know i wasn't surprised or shocked like i felt like i knew she was in trouble was it last weekend it was was it this past weekend even this past weekend in the weekend before and the first

one was when she wanted to nationally legalize weed because i'm like why are you giving a fuck now like you're making this promise now you're scared you're worried and the second one was when when she was being interviewed and someone asked about her perspective on trans rights and she was like we just need to follow the law and i was just like girl the law is transphobic like and so you're not standing up for trans rights i'm like you just lost like trans people

and their allies like you're not gonna lose all gay people some because some gay people are transphobic but you lost a good chunk of the queer community right I thought that she was saying I'm going to follow the law in like a way that was like avoiding the avoiding.

Sounding transphobic by just saying that she was gonna follow the law yeah because they're asked like do you think people should be getting gender affirming care and she was like well we're just gonna follow the law which is that they should be right but there's some states that are contesting to not give them the right to do that so you're giving the state the decision to do that so you got to follow the law what if the law is transphobic because there are states that

are trying to pass anti-gender affirming care, laws yeah i thought it was weak either way yeah so like i when i heard that i'm like oh you're in trouble. But I wasn't shocked because I feel like, You know, we have the leftists like me who decided not to vote for her because of her stance on the genocide, you know, and she was not interested in hearing or caring about any of those things. And instead she made it about being the lesser of two evils.

Mm-hmm yeah i felt like it the democrats are weak and they're weak because i feel like they could have won the election if they just were actually stood for something.

Like if you actually went left and i think that's the problem is that the democrats are center they're centrists especially kamal is a centrist yeah and it's like you could if you had bernie and you like went hard as fuck and we're like we're going full communist america i feel like america would have voted for that just because he's extreme and i don't think that they voted for trump because they love him i think they voted for him because he's extreme and it's like,

but kamala was just centrist it's like if you just put an extremist in the democratic shoes you could have probably like rallied a lot of people yeah right like if you would have you know listen to the left the left people and and made adjustments and like did the right thing because it's not even like a wrong thing to request a stop of genocide you know like you would have gotten more votes you know and and i also heard like her

campaigning was like more centered of trying to convert republicans to vote for her because she was getting a lot of people who republicans like big names endorsements and they were trying to go out to campaign to get republicans on her side and also i heard her talking about like oh i'm gonna have like republicans in my cabinet the same people who are trying to take rights away but you want to give them power. Like I get trying to like work both sides, but no, they needed to go far.

They needed to go way far. They needed to say we're stopping the genocide because I feel like even like a lot of Republicans are stating that they didn't want war, which just sounds weird, but I feel like real Republican people also don't want war, not just like Republican candidates who do want whatever they want.

But anyways, it's just like, you should have stopped the genocide you should have said no we're not doing the fucking genocide and then you should have fucking just i don't know gave the people fucking.

Their fucking free health care and their fucking student loans paid off and you should have fucking did the whole fucking thing but no you should do everything you would have won you would have been president right now but no you decide to fund a war right and i agree with you about the conceit thing like you just gave the fuck up no recount no nothing no like come on like you you can genocide a whole people but oh i'm

not even gonna like try to i'm gonna try to step up to this fucking result bitch he would have fucking went to town on you like get real it's crazy that's why because you're weak and you didn't want to do nothing, conceit oh i i gave him a phone call oh shut the fuck up.

But i know y'all said that y'all was did most about the the props or like local yeah because that's garbage which is true because i was like the felt like the whole state said no on like the affordable housing yeah the rent control right i'm like what the fuck that makes no sense why When do you want rent control? I don't know. My biggest shock was people voted to keep indentured servitude and slavery. The who? There was a prop that... Oh, for inmates. Yeah. Yeah.

But people decided to keep it. And then also vote to up the ante on death crimes, which is going to create more slavery in indentured servants.

Fucking wild. That child is crazy. i know streets yeah and we're we're we're the liberal california i can't i can't tell about this about the on the maps is i can't tell who all we have is a population in the big cities see we're right yeah san francisco here la maybe san diego maybe san diego that's because all the motherfuckers from the south and shit is moving out here and just making shit up at this point but it's because

i'm like central central california has always been red that's also but like what this guy might work i was telling him we're talking about that and then i was like.

I was like you know that just incentivizes them like to do mass incarceration, and he's like yeah like that was a good thing like nodding that is what i want i'm like okay, it seemed like this whole shit was just crazy yeah like the props really shocked me and how it turned out and then also not to increase minimum wage, right that also was like interesting to me yeah i mean we got our protection on gay marriage, but like i was also just confused yeah by the but people seem to be thinking that

if you raise a minimum wage that has something to do with inflation but i'm like no that's an increase in the month like the money yeah right and that's just a yeah when you do when you rage increase that's just a redistribution of funds that's not creating more monies.

What is it the federal deficit reserve reserve yeah i heard the the biggest thing people were they were saying that if you raise a minimum wage then small businesses would fail yeah i hear that a lot but it's like y'all like capitalism until it affects you because you can't afford your employees then guess what your business fails i'm sorry sis that's capitalism you're that's it and i mean i mean the truth about it is the only businesses that are actually

surviving out here are big corporation businesses all these mom and pops that i guess you might be alleging are being hurt i'm not gonna speak too late i'm not gonna say anything about them but i feel like, are they really hiring people like that right where they're like they're hiring so many people it's gonna hurt them mm-hmm. What, like mom and pops? Yeah. Yeah, right. No, they have like probably like fucking four, three, four employees or some shit.

Yeah, right. And like two of them is me, my wife. Right. My cousin who's doing this. And Lil Ray Ray. Yeah. Exactly. Like, I'm not like hiring like. Yeah. Because most small businesses don't have that many employees no more. Like everything is really, your marketing team is going to be online. Mm-hmm. Like that's you. Like, shit, the only thing you need to worry about is, you know, keeping the business afloat. Mm-hmm. Yeah, but that tactic and that statement is a great way to pit people

against each other instead of seeing that the issue is that corporations are the problem. Exactly. Right? So it's like, oh, you're taking money out of my mouth by me giving you your minimum wage. No, I don't want to do that. Instead of seeing that we have a hugely unequal wealth distribution and the bigger corporations are causing that. I also hear a lot about this like about the one of some person that I know keeps talking about how why should a person who flips burgers make this much?

And then basically saying that his wage is essentially lowered in value because a person who flips hamburgers making $20 an hour doesn't make sense to him when he makes $50 an hour. So now it like cheapens his value essentially. Do you get what I'm saying? Yeah. This is like his point of view. And this is like the reason why he doesn't think other people should make more. because it.

He's not gonna get paid more yeah but bro why are you why are you worried about it why are you worried about other people looking worse than you but also why why is your value your money exactly on somebody else's money yeah like at that that's the problem is that you view your worth according to how much you make and what you do exactly and i'm just like what the fuck like why would you even yeah have these thoughts yeah society done

society does that society puts that into these people's head and they just go with it and think that it's cool and shit.

I mean, there'll be enough money if people shared it. If the rich people shared it, there'll be enough money. Exactly. Again, that's the problem. And small businesses will be in business. They'll be thriving. They'll be thriving and then they will also be thriving if we as consumers didn't want shit the next day. Yeah. That also put a factor. That's capitalism. Capitalism. Like, oh, you want it now? Get this membership for Prime.

Oh, no, take that out. this ain't no motherfucking free, but yeah that shit's crazy the trickle down ain't trickling I'm barely getting wet at the bottom.

But I think that's also why I don't know if white Democrats left because I'm thinking we're talking about how Democrats are really centrist right they want to call themselves liberal but like they're Republicans, and that's a reality because the republicans now are extremists like they are the tea party remember the tea party like those are extremists and trump was able to connect with them and utilize them and he made that the republican party like trump changed the republican party.

He made it more extreme and he gave it that space right like i don't think it necessarily it was his master plan i don't think he's a political savant oh yeah not at all i just think that they just found someone that is very convincing and people latched on to that, i remember like we were thinking like bush was like bad right this is yeah i mean he was bad like he was he was a war criminal yes and but a quiet racist and now we have a very loud racist and you know i want the

quiet race can you just not say it to my face can you not spit in my face please can you just talk about me behind my back right like a good person. But then like because republicans are so extreme like democrats are centrist they're like like i said republicans you know and but also republicans and democrats what is their game why are they in politics they're making money think of nancy pelosi nancy pelosi has been in the government for decades and her wealth has.

Been increased like I don't know how many percent right because she gets to invest and I'm sure she invests in war and what happens and what is she endorsing war. You know like the reason the system is like this is because like those people are profiting from it but it's like how do we change that since that's been the fucking storyline.

Since the first war like that's you know what I'm saying like how can we change it as a people, and how like it's just like that's what gets frustrating like damn what can we do why i think how can we do it i think people need to know this i feel like a lot of people don't know this or they just want to turn a blind eye to it and i think we just need to continue to talk about it and like show this and like organize and rally you know because a lot of us buy into the establishment that's true

i feel like the money is like the root of all evil i mean it's obviously a big factor yeah why shit gets fucked up and you can't even you can't run really on any platform without having money yeah so it's kind of like you get wrapped up in money no matter what and if these people and it's like the candidates the kind of candidates who don't get wrapped up with like big ad campaign kind of shit the ones who stay small and like grassroots and like have no money they

never fucking get into these fucking big positions but then it's like i don't know or even if you get into the positions like it changes you look at aoc right look at bernie right she ain't being loud no since she what after the second the genocide everything yeah.

I was gonna say something i forgot you said look at oh i know i think another thing we need to do which it's going to be hard but needs to happen is there needs to be a general strike no one's going to listen to us until we hurt their money right and like everyone's just stop working and but before we do that we need to build community we need to build infrastructure in order for us to be able to do that right but again like this system has played

us and pitted us against each other so to make that difficult to do so y'all mean a general strike that's what we need to do so what that mean i don't go to work no you don't go to work you don't buy you don't do nothing, and what does this do for me you oh well obviously a general strike is going to be like led by people there's going to be a list of demands you know so we're not going to like participate in this and this is what we need in order to do

it. And then you should go on General Strike. Then you can get your country back up and running. Mm-hmm. Did y'all see? Excuse me. It's like how unions strike. Oh, yeah. That's what we were doing. See, but the union got that money behind them. Did y'all see about the percentages, though, of how people voted by race? Oh, yeah. Do you have it up? That shit was crazy, yeah. Look it up. Let's talk about it. So 34%. Now, white men hold 34% of the votes, but they voted 39% Democrat and 59% Republican.

White women holds 37% of the votes. And they voted 47% Democrat and 52% Republican. Black man only holds 5% of the votes. And a black man voted 78 percent Democrat, 20 percent Republican. So black woman, black women hold seven percent of the votes, but they voted, of course, 92 percent Democrat and seven percent Republican. Latino man holds six percent of the votes. Now, they voted 44% Democrat and 54% Republican. Damn. Right? Latino women, 6% of the votes.

They voted 61% Democrat and 37% Republican. And all other races hold about a 6% of the votes. But they did 50 Democrat and 45 Republican. Excuse me. But I was like, wow. White men and women, you know, have majority of the votes. Right. In the elections. Mm-hmm. So I don't know how to say this, like, properly. But, like, those people, white people, you know, you think some of them is your friends. Yeah. You know what I mean? So it's just like, eh. Mm-hmm.

And hopefully mine is in that 37% and that 34%.

Yeah yeah right definitely definitely i mean i do definitely think that racism and sexism played a role in kamala's loss but i don't think it's it should take full responsibility of the situation oh yeah you know i definitely do think that you know white people struggled to vote for a black asian woman you know because she's also indian and excuse me but the latino vote i feel is interesting and i feel like i'd like to speak on that because like we also

needed when i when i was like what the fuck that makes no sense like he really wants to deport you but then i thought i'm like oh wait wait wait let me let me zoom out of southern california because like i'm in mexican focus right but like the latino community is a diaspora like there's so many different versions of us you know and i thought about like conservative latinos who are who come from like. Communist countries like Cuba. I forgot the other one, but I know Cuba for sure, right?

And the thing is, it's like anything that they perceive as socialists, they are going to not vote for it. And I guess Kamala's a social version to them, a socialist to them, but. That vote makes a little bit more sense to me. You know, because, like, also a lot of Cubans in Florida, which Trump won big in Florida. Well, at my school, it's, like, half white, half Latino. And not all, every single one of them are, like, Republicans.

And, I mean, it makes sense to me because it's like, well, they are citizens.

They don't see themselves getting deported because they're citizens.

So they're not, there's, like, that's not me. and a lot of them don't see themselves as like being attached to any other like latino countries they're americans as far as they're concerned which they are but they also have like no sympathy for people from other countries and that's what i mean but also i feel like it has a lot to do with like anti-transness i feel like a lot of people are just so fucking anti-trans they cannot stand the way that the country allegedly is going in

their minds and they can't let this continue any further with this whole in their minds democratic woke nonsense you know what i mean that's taking over the country and so they need to stand up because they're scared that one day they're gonna go on a date with someone and they're gonna find a dick that's what they're fucking scared of and that's what they talk about and that's how they are and i think that's what a majority of the vote was about yeah a lot of it that's how what i hear i mean

i'm in like i'm surrounded by heterosexual males all fucking day and i hear what they fucking talk about and just because i'm there they don't get polite they say what the fuck they want and it's like that's what it is yeah it's not it's not like. It ain't rocket scientists. They're fucking hateful bitches. Right. I don't know what to fucking say. Yeah. I mean, that really speaks to, like, people's, like, your proximity to whiteness, right?

You know, like, I definitely think there are a group of, like, Latinos who want a closer proximity to whiteness. So you need to assimilate, you know? And also the reality is, is, like, the more and more you're away from, what is it, like, generations?

Like if you're second or third generation like you you lose culture you know and it's so easy to do i mean and i mean we are like so when i'm around all these guys right we're all in a union but they're all republicans and they don't understand that they're actively working to dismantle the union and they actively are like oh yeah trump he's gonna get rid of taxes on overtime and i'm It's because he's getting rid of overtime, you idiot. And it's like, they don't, they're dumb.

They're dumb as fuck. They don't understand how shit works. And they're just dumb. And that's what happened. America is dumb. We have bad education system. We're making it worse and worse and worse. And we're just going to continue to have dumber fucking people. And that's what happened. The end for dumb. Dumb, dumb, dumb. But I mean, I don't know. But people also think Trump is a good business person. Yes. I was like, y'all know he got so many bankrupt bankruptcies.

I mean, I don't. I don't understand it. Yeah. I don't think nobody will forever figure out how human beings with the ounce of dignity think that this is a good person, regardless of presidency or not. You think that's a good person? All right. Well, you know, I can't fight your logic. I don't know. I'm just glad that like, Eminem came out for the DNC because that kind of funny made them look at him sideways. Look at who sideways? Eminem. Because a lot of those Republicans like him.

Oh, okay. They love his women-hating stances. But, you know, anyways. But yeah, I just, no, I'm just going to try to live my best life as best as I can. Yeah, how are you guys going to deal with the, another four years i mean i mean the same thing he did with his first four years i want to be out there like advocating and marching and protesting because the benefit of this situation, is that now people are going to be more socially active and more socially justice oriented.

Because i remember when trump's first presidency everyone was i felt like out there like every week out there protesting out there saying speaking against him and then once biden got in quiet as a motherfucking mouse and you know no like you need to be active the whole time like just because there's democrat doesn't mean they're looking out for you like again republicans democrats the exact same thing they make their money the exact same way don't give a fuck about you yeah yeah i

think that's a big problem is like the democrats just never deliver yeah like i mean trump was right when he was like you had four fucking years to do something you didn't do nothing and it's like i mean and then everyone's response was like oh well that's not her presidency that's joe's presidency it's like well she just said that she's a fucking joe number two right so what are you giving us yeah nothing it's.

She's giving us nothing. But I hope everybody still have that same mindset in the next four years to come. You know what I'm saying? So like, because this is going to be like a tennis match. Oh, the Democrats had four years. Oh, Republicans just finished four years. So like if nothing changes within the next four years, then we're going to go back and forth with this tennis match. And it's just like we're getting fucked. I mean, yeah. The normal average individual is getting fucked. Yeah.

We're the ball. we're just getting tossed left and right but i say that to say like because the fact the past four years we just had with joe right like what was happening we're still getting all these like rights taken away like step by step like roe v wade just happened again yeah and so what were you giving us while you were in office nothing so but like the shit like black lives matter and stuff like was really ramped up in the trump era right so maybe

it's just we all slept because we thought like the democrats had it all covered right but in reality like nothing was happening so maybe we needed trump to ramp shit back up for i don't know yeah but i think like we really need to get outside the the two-party system yeah because we're pretty much what it is like you say we're going ping pong for all the rest of our lives right because they're just giving us the same people with the same

policies you know and using fear to get us to vote for you you know because it's always like he's going to do this and they're going to do that you know and it's always worse you know mm-hmm. Mm-mm-mm. Goodness gracious. Mm-hmm. So, everyone needs to go protest. Everyone needs to vote third party. Right. And continue to find... So, the way I'm going to handle this next for you, I'm going to continue to be in my safe spaces. Make sure I'm dealing in loving on people that deal in love on me.

I love that. You know what I'm saying? And just make sure that I'm continuing to live and love life to the fullest as well as bring awareness, like you said, to other resources and services that's out there that could benefit people who may not have the opportunity to deal with what's to come. That's gonna be my plan. And then try to find somebody, marry somebody that I can get a dual citizenship. I think we should definitely, I can't always say this, definitely enroll in self-defense.

Shit guns is about to be on shit you can get the gun from dollar tree now coming next year take gun shooting class yeah go to lavender guard lavender guard is a queer, organization that teaches people how to shoot guns oh yeah that'd be cute maybe we should do that yeah we should that'll be cute i love the shooting right i've never been oh what else can we do also like I've been seeing like a lot of posts about just kind of like.

From i guess kamala voters or leftists or whoever they are being like like ultra sad posts being like if you need time and blah blah and we're gonna get through this and like just like super overly dramatic posts as if like we literally died and i'm just like girl get a grip like it's not fucking over yet like we can still do things like like we have to remember like it's always shitty and that that democrats aren't going to save us democrats not

going to save us i'm sorry they never were like you're feeling how you feel right now is valid like feel sad feel angry for all the feelings because it is very much valid but we also need to find a way to like take these feelings in and do something with it yeah i know it's hard but like that's what we need to do, because ultimately i'm just like well this is what the country wants right this is what everyone wants. This is what you all want. This is what you ordered. So let's experience it now.

And see how great America, and see how cheap my gas automatically becomes now that Trump is president because y'all be complaining that Biden is the reason why we have fucking $5 gas. So let's see how fucking cheap the gas fucking gets now. Ooh, can't wait back for my 45 cent Teaseburgers from McDonald's. Let's see how fucking fast inflation deflates. Dumb bitch let's see how fucking fast it gets back to a great mm-mm mm-mm since y'all working so hard to get it back so fast.

But I'm sorry to my trans friends. I'm sorry for all the stresses that you guys are going through. That is very sad and fucked up because they come in for you first.

And I think it's important to remember, don't get complacent. Yeah. Keep one. You always got to keep your head on the swivel. You got to do it. No matter where you live. So stay vigilant and protect yourself. That part.

Because these hate crimes are amping up. I know. and I think that's why I had anxiety for the last couple like I've been literally I don't really get anxiety and I feel like the last three weeks like I would just have like almost like a panic attack anxiety like I'm like what am I fucking stressed about I was like ah, this bullshit yeah the existential dread of living every day.

So now my anxiety is going to probably go through the roof now, do you have any other tips on election stress uh yeah i mean it's it's hard because like i feel like i feel like a lot of therapists are going to be like oh just breathe just breathe but it's like not like you have a right to be a little dysregulated during the situation right like that's why i say like feel your feelings you know like be savvy angry um, like it's also being aware that like we can't live in those

feelings right like these feelings can pass you know but also knowing that we need to like get out there and organizing you know we need to find a way to transfer this energy that we have because like all those feelings cause a huge amount of like energy in your body so it's about like finding another way to redistribute it so it doesn't impact you you know and yeah like self-care is going to help but that's not the cure right

because you're still living in a very right hostile environment you know that's that's a band-aid i also think that a really good cure for anxiety is active. Actively working on the thing that you're anxious about so like if you're having lots of anxiety about like Trump or whatever, then get actively involved. Yeah. And it makes you feel like you're actually doing something. It can help you relieve, I think, a little bit of your anxiety if you feel like you're actively

combating it instead of just like laying by the wayside. Yeah. And letting it overtake you. And building community, right? Like you can't do this alone. Being with people who are like-minded are going to be helpful. That's going to keep you sane as well.

It's true dang put yourself first gotta put yourself first, oh I can't wait to see this shit show of all the people who voted for him like I was talking to you earlier right remember we was talking about how white passing Latinos, they go but they just like how you were saying like they feel like they're so far removed that you don't think he just gonna the dude that he's going to have run the previous ICE,

commando or whatever he was was saying it today like on the speech I was seeing it on the, on some of these goddamn apps. Yeah. Start packing up. We coming for you. I was like, and if you don't like it, some shit. I was like, damn, you literally just, y'all literally just won. You already telling people to pack their shit up because we coming for you? I'm like, damn, dude, this is about to be a shit show. But Kamala's going to come and get them.

Oh, but Kamala was also like, don't come here. We have no room for you. So like, again, like there's like not much difference. I mean, when you look at those percentages, though, it's kind of like all the racial percentages don't add up to even like one a half of the white gender. So how the fuck is that supposed to ever be fair? Yeah. Right. Exactly. But also a lot of them may, well, yeah, you're right. I mean, technically.

Yeah. I was actually watching a video, I think it was earlier today, and there was a guy that was part of the Trump campaign.

And he like he was saying the reason why he voted for trump was to save white america because, they're worried about being the minority in the country and i was like i wonder why because you treat all the minorities like shit and you're worried that they're gonna you're gonna be treated like that what would you have to be scared of yeah what are you doing to these people that they would want revenge right a minority should be be happy yeah so like that's why like

jerry marandering like voter registration like all this stuff exists to keep the the poc votes down, but it's like bitch even if every single poc enacted against like y'all we still wouldn't have the power to swing the vote right exactly yeah like what the fuck but y'all still so pressed, still gotta suppress us. Yeah, that's fucking crazy. Mm-hmm.

Y'all got any more tips or ideas or y'all wanna not overdo it on day one after the... My biggest tip would be to move to Iceland because they're very cave friendly. Good night. I'm just kidding. See, in Iceland. Yeah, move. Just kidding. But no, really just do it.

Yeah, take care of yourself everybody you know i love the idea of moving but like that's still also very colonial you're like we're just gonna leave this country and go to another country, unless it's like your ancestral country i guess but even that feels like a stretch, stay strong america yeah look up asylum in another country another country you just told us not to do that well that's what if you need asylum it's different if you're being harassed and persecuted I mean they're.

Oh god damn it anything else I'm good Christoph's done forever cause I feel my anxiety building up I need to take my ass on off this, any other election thoughts questions cons concerns definitely concerns. I gave all my thoughts same I don't have any more thoughts I'm elected out. I mean, for those who... Trump isn't going to stop the genocide either. No, probably not. Fuck. Yeah, I'm good. I'm having a dank. Alrighty then. Well, everybody, I thought that was a horrible existence that we have.

I'd like to thank myself, Nino, Dr. Mikey, and Christoph. All of us here at the Queer LBC. You're good enough. You're smart enough. And doggone it.
