I might not leave the country, but I’ll have to leave my state. I wonder if next Friday after work I’ll need to load up everything I can fit in my car and drive as far north as possible. It’s terrifying that my rights as a transgender human vanish will vanish overnight where I live. I’ve heard of bounties in Odessa.

Knowing that most of the people I live and work around are happily voting for a child rapist has broken my brain. The folks protesting at the Planned Parenthood (abortion is already illegal here) are going to vote for a man that’s probably paid for multiple abortions. It’s a sickness I can’t fathom.

Its sickening what is happening to this country, that you even feel the need to flee in such a way, but it is a realistic concern. There are people who very much want carte blanche to harm trans people, and if Trump is elected they may get that cover, its vile.

It's optimistic of you to assume we'll know the outcome by next Friday. Republicans are going to turn the whole election into a circus if they possibly can.

It's so bizarre that it's a warzone but just for the category you're in. For now, anyway. Ugh.

fully agree. hope you don't have to move... but for some miraculous incomprehensible reason the race is a statistical tie
