Before the results started coming in, the panel at PBS all emphasized how important it was that both sides accept the results, and that they be gracious to each other afterwards. By the end of the night, that had gone out the window. The country had chosen the path of racism, mysogyny, xenophobia etc.
I was watching Fox and as soon as Florida turned I told my brother if North Carolina turns I am going to bed but, then it looked like Penn, Iowa and Wisconsin would go.
I don’t fully understand why they held up calling AZ and Michigan and NH as well but, I knew we had a lock on 306.
I had many friends in West Hollywood set to party the next evening to celebrate...Hillary.
Toward 11PM California time I realized I hadn’t heard from any of them so, I texted one saying “I think there is something wrong with my phone. It is strangely silent”.
I didn’t hear anything until the next afternoon, when my friend responded “texting you back”.
My reply:
“I figured out what happened. I forgot to push the Trump button”
