When it seems like there’s only so much stress a person can take, the 2020 presidential election has proved the sky is the limit. Americans have spent the past couple of days glued to their screens and live election trackers in hopes of ending their sleepless nights and curbing their impending sense of doom.
The wait for the voting results has bent time and space. Hours seem longer than ever, days go in slow-mo, and ballot counting feels like an IV drip, painfully long and needlessly exhausting.
But the internet is a magical place, and whatever happens in the world around us, both the good and the bad find shelter here. That’s why people are taking to social media to share their election reactions, which is becoming a kind of meme in itself. From people saying they’re pulling up to Nevada to count the ballots, to checking the map every 5 minutes to see if the votes have changed, this has been an ultramarathon in anxiety and people are still rolling.

Also know that it is this close because of how much the Republicans have gerrymandered districts and purged voters. Sadly, Americans are also deeply racist.

The public in Germany in the 1930s were not evil yet they allowed horror to unfold, years later we can not understand why the public didn't stand up and say no, but America is doing the same. They are believing the lies, propaganda and spin the Trump ragime has spread and continues to do so. What is in the future for America? A nation doesnt run towards mass extermination of other humans it sleepwalks towards it, the warnings from history are there around the word & throughout time, dont let it happen again

Character counts. But not to Trump supporters. They don't care that's he's a walking piece of excrement. They only care about the economy, or guns or abortion. Or worse, voted for him to "stick it to the libs". It's almost over. The Tangerine Terror will have his last ego-fueled bizarre tantrums, but he's out. Maybe Trump and his supporters can go live on Dipshit Island together.

Spot on! I've been following CNN constantly these past days and hope we'll get good news soon. Joe and Kamala should have won by a very large margin, but this is America... I keep having hope that good will win. How can they possibly vote for Drumpf and indeed, why is it so close? Is it stupidity, racism, selfishness, all of these? A bit besides the point, but those CNN reporters are absolutely stellar, I think. Not American, but I'm so nervous for them and the rest of the world, want to have that 'phew'-moment.

After insulting the military. After insulting women, Hispanics, Middle Easterns, Black people, the disabled, and his own supporters (!!) After denying science all year. After comparing Biden to Mr. Rogers like it was an insult.
To find out more about what it’s like for Americans to wait on the election results, Bored Panda reached out to Twitter user @strawbearysal, who tweeted one of the funny election reactions with the caption “This is everyone checking the map every 5 minutes to see if the votes in Nevada changed.”
@strawbearysal told us that waiting was absolutely nerve-wracking. “I’m a college student and I found myself not being able to focus on schoolwork because of how anxious I was waiting for the results.”
The Twitter user also told us that there have been 100 emotions that they've gone through during this time. In fact, @strawbearysal has been on the edge of their seat since November because “Anything could happen during the vote-counting period.”
Luckily, “The memes help a lot in keeping calm.”

One of the problems I have with US politics is that it feels as though the way people react to political news, as well as much of the reporting of political news, is like they are following (or reporting) a football or ice hockey match. As though the only thing that counts is the score. That is not what politics is about. Politics is about what can and will be done AFTER the elections, it is about the direction a country will take, it is about how political decisions affect the lives of all citizens.

When it seems like there weren’t enough things to worry about these days, the US presidential election has surely added fuel to the fire. A recent survey conducted by the American Psychological Association and Harris Poll found that 68% of American adults say that the current election has caused significant stress in their lives. In comparison, ahead of the 2016 election, only 52% of Americans said the same thing.
Interestingly, the findings also indicated that the increased stress levels were present and consistent across the political parties: 76% of Democrats, 67% of Republicans, and 64% of Independents reported election-related stress.

Here in Australia, Voting is Compulsory, as it is in the UK. So why is it voluntary in the USA?
The American Psychological Association suggests a couple of tactics for easing that tremendous sense of election anxiety. Avoid dwelling on worst-case scenarios, because fear breeds negative emotions. Make sure you have a voting plan and an election day plan ready, so that you have some emotional support from friends and family to help you through the nerve-wracking wait.
And lastly, try to control your use of social media, because focusing on things that you can control may be soul-soothing. “If following the news, watching the debates, or scrolling through social media is causing you stress, limit your media consumption,” writes APA.

Trump gained with Latino and Black voters in some places. On another note, it's foolish to class all Latinos as a single discrete voting block.

A true American hero, the late great Senator John McCain, is surely smiling while his home State of Arizona just gave the proverbial "thumbs down" to President Trump.
Remember when Trump said John McCain was "not a war hero" and that Trump "like(s) people who weren't captured..." ?
Maybe Cindy McCain's endorsement of Biden turned this whole election.

Why are people downvoting @Isaiah Edwards? It matters to do your best to prevent the transmission of venereal disease. Giving a medical fact to de-stigmatize a virus that most of the world’s population has is also important. Also, there are drugs to limit the viral load. Have those open conversations, use protection, get freaky, and get tested often. Eat tacos.

I see the results turning out badly whichever way it turns out. I predict that The riots and violence happening right now will be nothing compared to whats to come. It won’t help that Trump will fuel the fire ESPECIALLY if he loses. I am scared for America.

More political parties would confuse the Americans too much. They can't even vote correctly if they only can choose between 2 parties.

I'm an American, politically raised in a two party system. I'm not confused over this, I'm confused about why some people need to comment. You obviously aren't from the U.S., so let me ask you this: what confounds you about this and why do you think Americans are so dumb we can't wrap our heads around what is normal for us? A three party election isn't unheard of - Ross Perot ran as an independent amongst Republicans and Democrats and it didn't throw that election into chaos. This election is only confusing because typically, in the past, the electoral college didn't come this much into play. Now it's the deciding factor, despite the popular vote putting Biden ahead and that, I'll admit, is stupid. But, as for that sweeping generalization that we're a stupid nation filled with ignorant voters, well, you're wrong. If anything, we were too lackadaisical in 2016 and now we have a disaster to contend with and that's what we're trying to do. Lay off with it, please.

I was 15 when JFK was assassinated. We've learned that physical attack isn't the way to make a point. Reason, voting, peaceful protesting, general campaigning is the way (not a complete list, of course). MLK, RFK, Malcolm X, and so many others knew what they were getting into and yet they persisted. Sometimes, staying at a "higher level" isn't conducive to the cause.

A wonderful insight into the dynamic of scapegoating - what will the people do when they see the whole truth about the US:american system - guess they will be extremely speechless - it is very interesting to see it without the conditioning people go through in the states - it is so easy to blame Trump but it is not easy to point at deeper levels of truth

As a non-american, I am just looking with shock to what is happening. Apparently, about 70 million people voted for a president who – ignoring anything that has been before – has been spreading nothing but lies ever since the votes closed, much of which shatters the trust in the institutions of democracy itself. And his followers do not seem to mind that he has no evidence, or even worse, he does not even have real accusations. He simply states facts about irregularities as to his own pleasure. This is disgusting, shameful, and very dangerous. I am not entitled to judge the American people, but I feel entitled to wish them brighter days.

I agree, it's so alarming to see an entire party and its followers do everything they can to undermine the very democracy that they claim to be so proud of. The lengths that they are trying to go to to win at any cost. The Trump administration has exposed just how weak American democracy is. At this point, I'm very worried about the future of the country, as Trump has proved that you can lie, cheat, play the system and there's not a damn thing anyone can do about it.

I think issues like abortion play a much bigger role in these decisions than people are willing to acknowledge. If pro-life is the hill you're willing to die on and Republicans are representing you in that, you're gonna vote for Trump even if you disagree with his everything. If your whole family and town's income hinges on mining fossil fuels, you're gonna vote for the people who promise not to eliminate it. There's too many issues to be represented by just two parties, and small upstarts like the Green party won't be able to make headway against the political juggernauts we have now. We need to deliberately split the parties down so people can more fully vote in keeping with their beliefs instead of having to choose one make-or-break issue to hinge all political decisions on.
Steve Armstrong 5 years ago
Those "pro-life", one issue trump supporters conveniently ignore the fact they've had the presidency, the Senate and House (for two years), plus a 5-4 majority on the Supreme Court and nothing was done about abortion. Republican politicians love the abortion issue - no other issue gives them so many unearned votes - why get rid of it?

Writing from and for a US audience: There was a great heaviness I felt while viewing the “Beyond Midnight: Paul Revere” exhibition. I suppose it’s a combination of different fears and trepidations sprinkled with disappointments. Our (US) founding fathers fought for freedom from tyranny, for “no taxation without representation.” That’s the simplest and romantic sentence I could possibly write in the moment. There’s always money and self-interests involved. To hold the title of citizenship and the power to cast your vote were supposed to mean something. We’ve been told every vote matters. That it’s our duty as adult citizens of our country. To deny counting of the votes, when the ballot is already completed, mailed by the election date is to go back on the basic ideals we hold dear. Whether you’re blue, red, rainbow, whatever ... this can’t be condoned. If anyone wants to chime in about citizenship in the ancient world and voting privileges. Let me get on bended knee and swoon.

I wonder if people going into politics for the people are like parents and siblings herding children away from danger? That sometimes you’re seen as a bad parent because you give in and let the kids eat chicken nuggets and go on the smart devices. What people don’t see are the moments you come home tired, work hard and (mostly) patiently to keep them safe, cleanish, healthy, relatively happy, and entertained. Others look in and wonder why the kids aren’t prodigies and the model of ideal children, which is rare and slightly creepy by the way. They don’t see that without you, the ceiling is caved in and the house is on fire versus drawings on the walls and some disorganized mess all over the place.
