Besides disappointment, I felt some anger too, looking at the results this morning. It has faded back down to cynicism now, though I am still irritable.
Last night around 11pm, one announcer said the results were looking like they did at that hour in 2016. I still remember my reaction back in 2016 around that time; how I couldn't or didn't want to believe it and didn't give up hope. This time I didn't give up hope either, as slim as it kept getting. But unlike last time, I could believe it, because it happened before.
This is a somewhat heartening message:
