   So
   I came from Malaysia & from 2008, when the govt in power for decades were shaken by a huge opposition win, the people endured stolen elections, gerrymandering, riot police, murders (yes, not kidding) of political opponents and innocents, coups, teens & social media being used to incite something even worse that America's Jan 6...and yet today we have a leader from that same opposition party.
   What I am saying is, it is not the end yet. Don't treat it like it is, ok? We certainly didn't.

     @liztai My own countries suffered similar things. So did my mum's, which was really bad (Zimbabwe...).

     The US definitely still has a long way to go. Definitely not a time to give up. It's not over.

     @monsoonrains I think both of us understand that when it comes to political change, the people need to be steadfast. Change doesn't come overnight. They need to fight and not flee to Asia to enjoy a luxury lifestyle like some of themndesure. But I suppose it's easy for me to say coming from my perspective. In my country, not all of us have the luxury to leave, so we fight for what we deserve.
