Aftermath: in days following the 2024 election

This morning in discussing our feelings with an online friend I wrote that I felt cut loose, like I am not even connected to the earth any more, Afterward I thought more about that and what I came up with is all our lives with the ups and downs, successes and failures there has been a sort of foundation under us, a government that took care of things we needed but had no control over, as simple as highways or weather reports, little things and big things. The list is immense. I'm not confident that foundation is going to be there going forward.

Same fears here. The morning after, I woke up but I was still in the nightmare and in spite of my best efforts, I couldn't wake up. The guard rails of our checks and balances are all but wiped out. They have the executive, it looks like they will have all of Congress and the judicial. Total, unbridled power to do whatever they want. If that isn't a horrible nightmare I don't know what is.
