It’s incomprehensible because it’s improbable. Until we have an election process that everyone can trust, I refuse to believe this is who we are as a nation. CNN did an exit poll showing 70% of voters are dissatisfied or angry about the direction of the country. It’s incongruous that they would then vote for more of the same!

A loved one told me, "We need Change in this country. I voted a pure democratic ballot!" seriously. I don't know how to react when truth and logic have no place in conversation or thinking. I feel nearly hopeless after this pitiful outcome. It seems like about half the country wants this unconstitutional tyranny. I don't want to be on a team where half of the team wants to destroy everything good and decent about the team. Whatever the USA (and IMHO, it's the people, not just the deep state operatives) has morphed into, makes me disgusted and angry.

The media has been trumpeting propaganda nonstop that conservatives are fascist and democracy will be over if they win and other such nonsense. The people who buy into this really do believe they are doing the right thing.

I believe we are in a battle that can't be solved at the political level, but at the spiritual one. Remember despair while understandable is "voting" for the "wrong team" spiritually and that Love, Peace, Joy, are much much much more powerful than hate or even just going along to get along. A "vote" for love is worth massive number of votes of something less.

This is proof of the red tsunami. Long Island, and you know who lives there, went completely Rep. Why, because the Dem's took LI for granted and didn't spend any effort cheating there! Think about it. Maybe I'm wrong.

Polling about being dissatisfied with the country's direction has always seemed worthless to me. Half of those saying they're dissatisfied could be liberals who think the Christians are taking over and that the country isn't moving far enough left.

I saw many comments on Instagram where people were wearing shirts that said, "Vote Blue no matter who." Scary that control of the house and senate are more important to them than what is right!

If I were in Georgia I would have voted for Hershel Walker, not because I agree with HIM on things like the enviroment but because I'm pretty sure he will vote PARTY lines in congress. Sometimes having a weak member on your team is better than having no teammate.

Much of the rhetoric suggested that a vote for a Republican was a push toward communism, among other scare tactics - some of what I saw on social media had me shaking my head - I could see that this messaging might be effective..... and many folks are simply too easily swayed (as in simple-minded - which is just what THEY may say about US - the world has been knocked off-kilter, needs an enema, imo)

But Bill O’Reilly says there is NO evidence of computer election fraud. And he fully supports the bio weapon shot. I have decided that Bill is one of the cabal. Sad day indeed.

A reasonable hypothesis in incredibly UNreasonable times.
