I’ve tried occupying myself this whole time. I actually managed it. Just a sense of dread in the back of my head, no active, debilitating terror. But it’s falling apart now that everything’s so close. It was easy to kill when the election was far, and I could see it abstractly. But now it’s here, and I don’t have enough faith in my fellow Americans to be confident. I’m glad Harris’s team is, I just hope it means something.

I just want to not wake up in a fascist regime.
