The a/c was an easy fix but apparently our water heater is dying
JFC it's always something. We still need to replace the refrigerator, too.
I voted before coming in to work. I live literally down the street from my polling place so it's easy, and I live in the sticks so I've never had to wait more than 2 minutes to get into a booth.
It's hard not to feel like my vote doesn't really count, thanks to the stupid electoral college. We are also voting for House rep, but that fucking pig incumbent is going to have the job until he's carried out in a body bag, unless he fails even higher upward into the Senate.
Still, I tell myself you don't flip states or districts by staying home and pouting on election day.
I don't know what's going to happen in deep red communities like mine if Harris wins. I don't know if it's currently the case, but for most of the years I've lived here, Louisiana has led the nation in firearms-related violence. Everyone is armed, white people in general have very little distress tolerance, and MAGAts in particular have no emotional regulation. They cannot handle Very Big Feelings, which is how you get a bunch of them smearing their shit on the walls of the Capitol.
I'm preparing for it like I would a hurricane, I guess: Keep the car filled with gas, keep some cash on hand and some extra food and water in the house, be prepared to GTFO if necessary.
Seems like a sign of a healthy democracy, right?
