Although I’ll keep working, I think the election has just become irrelevant. Trump will be reinstalled by SCOTUS decision – 2000 all over again.

he'll be selected rather the elected. They will use Bush v. Gore as precedent and say that not being president would be damaging to him and, regardless of the votes, appoint him.

Hopefully, my panic level will come down at some point, but right now? Feels like the end of our country.
