Unofficial straw poll for USians: who is staying up tonight to watch the bloodbath and who is going to bed and hoping you don’t learn that fascism won in the morning?

I want to sleep, don't know how peaceful it will be. My state, Ohio, (unsurprisingly) went fully blood red in every possible election, including NO to the anti-gerrymandering issue.
I'd like to not lose my job because of a fascist rooting out anyone who doesn't agree with them and sicking their followers on them.
Edit: aaaand AP just called Ted Cruz as a winner for Texas...
Yeah, woke up and checked. Fuck. Guess we're fleeing the country.
I wish you the best of luck and expediency in that endeavor. I'm pretty solidly stuck here; all my family has been here for generations, so I have no "heritage" to speak of to get myself citizenship in another country.
If/when I leave my job I do have the option to drain my retirement as a (mostly) untaxed lump sum; I'm under 30, so I don't expect retirement to still exist as a concept in 40 years. I expect the fund will get taken out from under me either way, better to at least use it for myself.f.
I'm really sorry. I feel bad for you and for so many others. One of the mods in c/News has a gay and a trans kid. Another has a daughter-in-law who could get deported. They don't have the luck I have. I wish they did. I wish I could take all of you with me.
Funny enough it wouldn't be hard for me to get a job in the UK, but I would still be working for the same branch of US government 😐
