    MegaUltraChicken explained better than I could, so I’m not going to do that.

    What I want to do is repeat: is there something I can do that’ll just make you feel more hopeful? I’m being serious in that it sucks for everyone to feel this way, I don’t like feeling this way, let’s change it - how can I help encourage you (and myself)?

        I cannot personally do that, but I kicked a donation his way as a show of good faith. I hope things can change for the better.

          Sorry. I’m Jewish, my daughter is half-Jewish and queer and my wife is a librarian. If Trump wins, we will have to give up on this country for our own safety. I have the possibilities of both German and UK citizenship and I am looking into them right now.

            You have to do what makes you and your family safe, but I also hope you understand there are a lot of people, most people in this country, who want to make this a safe and comfortable place for everyone. A minority in this country is trying to make everyone else feel unsafe and like they don’t belong, and they’re doing an incredible job at it. I’m trying to do my part to stop it, and I hope that at the least you can see that there are a lot of people out there who are on your side.

              I know there are. I just don’t know that there are enough considering how many people who would normally vote for him are angry at Biden over Israel.
