Deborah, I feel your pain and I would do the exact same thing if I could financially. Unfortunately, that’s not possible for me. What do we do as the normal people in the room in times like this? I feel like there’s nowhere to hide.

Except for Jeff, I've stopped looking at the news. If a meteorite is coming towards the earth, my family can call and let me know. The anxiety over this election won't go away. Even when I don't read/watch the news. And I'm more fortunate than many - I'm white, not a minority religion or background and I'm too old to have any more children. Trump can't go after me like he can some people. Where he can ruin me is financially. I'm getting ready to retire - mess with my social security or cause the stock market to go into a recession, and my 45 year work record in my profession (nursing) will pretty much be financially for nothing. I was quite ill with COVID (in the hospital for 3 weeks and missed 2.5 months of work) so his policies almost got me then in 1/2021. It's too late in life to begin saving in a different direction. I'm in good shape now, but the MAGAs could easily ruin that in a short period of time. My parents were depression/ WWII generation - I miss them. but I'm glad they aren't around to have to deal with all of this in their senior years.
We talk to each other, so go ahead and vent~ I have broad shoulders. We must always keep lines of communication open. Get things off your chest so you can take a full, deep breath...we're here for you.🌬
