Been in the dumps since election night. At first I thought I was just grieving because my husband passed away October 29th right before the election. However, he had been bedridden from a stroke for 6 months so his passing was more of a relief. But the blues haven't lifted and I seem to be wasting hours a day reading the news. I live in a democratic desert surrounded by those with maga hats. I'm grateful they wear the red hats because it frees their hands from carrying their sign that says "stupid". Sigh
