Yes, that's me. Got my first job interview tomorrow. At 3:30 am. Apparently the Earth isn't as flat as certain people on the internet would have you believe.

And yeah, there were a surprising number of brown people who voted for Trump, especially men. I don't get it. He hasn't been even a little secretive about what his plans are. They really don't get that they could get caught up in this insane net of Trump's.

The only thing I can figure out is they're extremely low-information voters whose thought process was something like "prices high, Biden's fault, Trump not Democrat, vote for him."

Ah yes, the famous gas and grocery price levers in the Oval Office that Biden keeps leaning on.

Yes. Americans being really really fucking stupid is why we're about to go full fascist.

Good luck on the job interview!

Thanks! It's not a job I'm dying for, so I'm thinking of it more as practice, but I will take anything if it means we can get over there in January and afford basic things like a home and food.
