I am a nervous wreck. I can't watch the results. I am truly terrified. I saw MTG projected

Winner and I want to hurl.

Rubio and Desantis winning has me near passing out. There seems to be...what little I saw truly has me worried. I pray I am truly wrong.

And in DeathSantis's win, he's gotten rid of whole black districts and re-drawn others just for himself so there are NO blacks in the districts voting for him, mostly whites in those former black districts now.

He needs people like her in the US govt to stop the Ukraine war he is losing on the battlefield.

She is also being touted as a VP candidate for Trump.

It seems likely the GOP and Putin would pull strings to keep her in office.

That’s a solid idiot district. And Florida is Florida.

None of that is surprising.

She still won't have any committee assignments.

If the House flips, it's a big problem - she will play a prominent part in the new fascist House.

calls, so I'm trying to stay positive. My stomach is tied in knots though.

At least my senator, Maggie Hassan is projected to win, but I was disappointed that Governor Sununu was projected to win reelection. Tom Sherman was such a good candidate.

I’ve heard her area is KKK red. She could be there for decades.

Death Satan was always going to win. The FL Republicans are Twitter LOVE him with a Trump-like intensity. They are positive he is the BEST Governor in America. The more hateful he is, the more they love him. There is nothing they love more than hate.

I think she'll eventually find a way to self implode. It's unfortunate she was ever elected, of course.

I probably am having a panic attack too early. We lost Roe and I am scared of what will be next. I will do my best to say positive.
