I keep wavering between crushing cynicism and desperate hope

convincing myself that winning in Alabama was never in the fucking cards, that even against a man banned from the fucking shopping mall the best we could do was get close

scare them a little

and then returning to what if, what if we actually could tho

GOD RIGHT

up and down up and down

started out happily cynical that moore was going to win

anyway it's still too close to call, I'll probably have lost all my hair by midnight, and whatever happens the Republican Party backed a child molester

now it's just DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES? in the background

god i can't even think about this without my chest getting all anxiety tight

if this is any prediction, 2018 is gonna be nuts

I'm gonna need to buy more wine

hey, do you want wine vouchers?

I have wine vouchers

yes I want them

but also what the fuck are those

THIS FUCKING NEEDLE

STOP GIVING ME HOPE

an online wine retailer says 'if you spend X amount, you get more wine for your money'

they deliver alcohol in durham now, they know what 2018 is gonna be

/screams into a pillow

oh that's a neat idea

RIGHT the nytimes has been killing me

there's no winning for the gop with this

i've been stalking this for an hour

NYT is a monster and must be stopped

vibrating anxiously

have the NYT page open in one tab

I've only been able to lessen my anxiety by enjoying Horse Twitter

even fox news is bracing themselves for a moore loss though... (i'm watching fox because i hate myself but i love to occasionally exfoliate with sean hannity's impotent man-tears)

"we elected a known pedophile to the senate" vs "we almost elected a known pedophile to the senate"

over Roy Moore's apparent inability to ride a horse

his tiny little birthday pony

oooh, are they? I can never bring myself to watch them, glad to hear that's the vibe in their hell-pit

christ

holy shit Moore only leads by .7 pct points now

holy shit

the vipers are gnashing their fangs

laura ingraham was panicking in her demonic yowl that this could spell the end of the trump agenda

i can't change the channel because i need to see them melt down if a democrat wins

holy fuck they're practically tied now

goddamn I may need to find a livestream myself

DEAD EVEN

YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME

link me if you find one

mine says doug jones leading by 0.0

i cant deal with this

FOX NEWS LIVE - PRESIDENT TRUMP LATEST NEWS TODAY Fox News "The Sexual Allegation Circuit And The Plot To Take Down The President"

ALA-FREAKING-BAMA WHY

that's literally how they introduced this segment

....thanks fox

i mean at this point, even if jones loses it's so close in such a deep red state, republicans will still be freaking

the fact that Fox isn't talking about the election right now

makes me think

....Jones will win

GREATER THAN 95% CHANCE

I

they're already going hard into a propoganda rant

is this what hope feels like?

I mean

I don't know

it's been so long

it's been so long since light has flickered in the hollow cavern of my chest

maybe they won't get the tax plan

Well thank fucking Christ

god I hat this woman

can't do it, too toxic, switching to a CNN livestream

"THE PLOT TO TAKE DOWN PRESIDENT TRUMP" is literally their fucking scroll I can't

holy shit

screeeches they're calling it for jones

dial it back, Goebbels

AHHHHHHHHHH

I

YES

FINALLY

Oh god, I'm so glad I'm not the only one who's freaking out

I feel....I feel happy

guys, I feel happy

i'm gonna honestly fucking cry

guys. guys. a democrat just won Alabama

A DEMOCRAT. JUST WON. ALABAMA.

OMG

OMG

I'm just

O_O

YESSS!!!

SUCKS 2017 HAD TO BE A DUMPSTER FIRE FOR IT TO HAPPEN BUT I WILL TAKE IT

THIS IS SUCH A REBUKE TO THE NOTION THAT NOTHING MATTERS, THAT ANYTHING IS PERMISSIBLE

TAKE HEART, COMRADES!

yeah!!! lol all the cynical takes already like CAN YOU WAIT FIVE GODDAMN MINUTES PLEASE

sometimes things actually are a big deal

IF YOU DON'T CELEBRATE YOUR VICTORIES WHEN YOU GET THEM, YOU WILL HAVE LESS ENERGY TO GET TO THEM

god I hope every republican up for election next year is pissing their pants

I hope they're all on desperate conference calls

I hope they're sweating like sinners in church

Trump must be apoplectic right now LOL

IT'S ALL THOSE LYING WIMMINS FAULT, i can see his tweet now

I hope the old scrotum strokes out

every Republican looking at Trump with more side-eye now, seeing cracks, seeing weaknesses

I’ve been watching the NYT needle with my hands over my mouth

I really can’t believe it

they won't fall in line as easily now, not if they think he's not going to win them elections

GOP senators and congressman are like the fucking hyenas in Lion King - if their lion falls, they'll be there. And not to help him up again.

I'm getting nervous.

The gap keeps closing.

there's only 9000 votes that separates them.

what are you watching? Most I see are reporting a 12k difference

12k-15k even

msnbc

it just bumped up

HAH I just realized that I I was ten minutes behind on my DVR of my news show.

lmao i was gonna say are you sure msnbc isn't having a stroke, it's been called

had me scared lolol

ahhhhhh I'm so excited for the implications of this. Every moderate Republican is going to think twice about toeing the party line for controversial bills

lol those write ins really fucked Moore over.

also can't wait for tomorrow's inevitable deluge of Repubs denying that they ever supported Roy Moore

It will be so delicious.

and another cherry on tonight: Trump's approval rating has fallen to 32% according to the most recent Pew poll

From FOX: "Well this was not a win for the democrats, it was a loss for Judge Moore"

no, buddy, it was both. Both are true. I promise.

aaaand they're back to talking about Mueller

the propaganda machine is gonna be taking aim at the special counsel from now until endgame

Hahahaha such sour grapes.

Trump couldn't even break 48% approval in Alabama.

it's so desperate because all they have is "someone who used to be on the investigation team sent text messages about how he didn't like trump"

o k a y

fox news is phoning in the propaganda now

tragic

LMAO they literally lost audio for a minute, wow

what a cracker jack operation they're running

hannity is drunk in the back tripping over cords

still wondering why no one's calling him

LOL

The lead has jumped to over 14,000

This is a definite, solid win.

....

OMG.

Moore's team is going to try for a recount.

They're going to wait to see if they win later in the month when they do the certification.

I am just... wow.

hahahaha of course they are

he can't actually call for a recount unless it's only a half-point difference

I believe there's more than a full point between them

Yup

They're waiting for the military absentee votes to come in.

I'd lmao if that only increased the margin in Jones favor.

Well the Alabama secretary of state is pretty much putting cold water on Moore's hopes lol

hahahah that's perfect
