Also, huge shout out and props to the black community for coming out to vote. Turnout in majority African American counties was very high compared to expected averages. Doug Jones had better remember that!

Huzzah for meeting some basic level of human decency in Alabama.

My jaw literally dropped when I read this. Like, mouth hanging open, shock and horror, eyes wide in disbelief. Everyday I think that it can’t get worse...but then I’m amazed. Come on world, do better!

I get feeling overwhelmed by the sheer volume of his awfulness. But remember: Trump is pathetic. He’s hanging on to his position by his fingernails. A position he is completely unqualified to hold.

Not just that I think it goes even deeper. With any minority you’re typically not seen as an individual but a member and representative of that minority. White people are given the luxury of not always being a representative of the larger group.
