     I keep reading article after article and opinion after opinion and I don't think it's helping. I guess this way I'm prolonging this whole election phase and delaying the acceptance of the result.

     I'm not even American.

     My heart is hurting for all American friends and strangers - many of whom are now in various levels of danger, for the world - given the things the guy himself has been promising to do, and for my children - who are new to this world.

     I put them into it. 😢

     I remember a website full of photos of Americans holding up signs saying 'Sorry' after Dubya beat Gore.

     That was when I first became aware of two USAs - the progressive, accepting, colourful, sexy, future-looking one, and the very religious and puritanical one, where fellow teenagers were taught only about abstinence.

     There always were two. I guess there are these two camps - maybe split along different lines - in many countries and continents now.

     I dunno. I'm just sad.
