> [@Spice\_Weasel](#): > > Well, Iā€™m out of ideas. My goodwill has dwindled to nothing. I am tired. Maybe thereā€™s hope I will recover my previous sense of identity as a person who cares what everyone thinks, but I am not that person today. I get it, and Iā€™m with you. I was thinking this could turn to Lord of the Flies with pickup trucks, MAGA hats, and high-powered rifles. And it may still. All I can think to do is disengage awhile, thank Jeebus that Trump didnā€™t get another four years, get some rest and regroup. A part of me thinks that our system triumphed but another part thinks, ā€˜What about next time?ā€™ Whereas Trump pandered to lower instincts, how can we appeal to the better parts of people? I donā€™t know if you Facebook but I love this (and canā€™t find it elsewhere). I adore how he states the case.

I know this is a little silly but I am honestly happy to see dogs returning to the White House (two of them!).

As a Canadian looking in, I can feel the healing beginning. Watching the speeches, and seeing the children in the crowd cheering, I have confidence in their future. The wave of relief is so strong. ---

Fabulous speeches by both Harris and Biden. Been a long few days (weeks, months, YEARS even) and so glad that the US and for that matter, the world, can now breathe a collective sigh of relief. ---
