i've been deeply and cripplingly depressed for almost half my life at this point, and the past four years, bookended by the two worst years of my life, have been particularly brutal
and although it wouldn't be accurate to suggest that trump's presidency was the only thing bringing me down, a day hasn't gone by where i've been able to avoid thinking fatalistically about the future because of it, whether it be my country's, my loved ones', or my own—which really begins to take a toll on your psyche when you're constantly having to dwell on it
so while it's definitely going to be all fun and games watching racists and incels seethe on /pol/ and other right-wing internet shitholes for a good while, and it's good to meme about that being the best thing about this victory, the one thing i'm honestly looking forward to is getting to feel a little bit more okay about life on a day-to-day basis—because as dumb as it sounds, this is definitely going to lift my spirits
biden's not going to save the country—not by a longshot—but as far as my morale is concerned, i'll be sure to get a 5% boost at least just from having trump out of office, and it's going to feel great
