@boomboombookgirl — i get it, you’re not american, so maybe it’s a bit hard to grasp how personal this really is for a lot of people here. elections in the u.s. aren’t just about who gets voted in—it’s about what those choices mean for millions of lives. it’s easy to say “chill out” when you’re not directly affected by the outcome, but for some of us, the stakes are incredibly high.
it’s not just about a political disagreement, it’s about what kind of world we want to live in and who gets to thrive in it. maybe it’s easy for outsiders to watch from the sidelines, but when your rights, your safety, and your future are on the line, the need to speak up gets a lot louder. so yeah, people are upset, and they have every reason to. it’s not “just an election” to them—it’s everything.
