I know that I’m sick of politics. I keep up with it because I feel that it’s important, but after spending years telling people how worthless Trump and Republicans are and then seeing America elect them again, I’m just at the point where I’m almost done with it all.

I imagine seeing your state go red must have been depressing.

Democrats have won most statewide elections here in Nevada over the last several years, but it’s always razor thin. It didn’t really surprise me that Trump finally won Nevada. To be honest, the population centers here aren’t exactly full of informed and educated people. 😢
