    Election night 2016 was the Wizard of Oz curtain reveal moment for me.

    I knew stupid people existed, but that night made it clear how stupid and how many there were in this country.

    Terminal.

      Same, went to a bar to watch the results as they came in, and I thought there was no way, right? He was just so obviously toxic, a con man, awful. But then it started looking like he was winning, then they called it.

      I don’t smoke, but I went outside to get some fresh air and bummed a cigarette. I just had no idea what to do, felt despondent. Now just look at us! :(
