Summary

We went live on Instagram the morning after the election to talk to each other and all of you about what the hell is happening!!! We discuss the still-very-much-in-process results, offer ideas for how to keep from going crazy in the days (weeks?!) to follow, and talk the merits and drawbacks of trying to engage in compassionate conversation with people across the aisle. IT'S AMERICA'S COMING OUT, Y'ALL!

Over the past many hours, I've had a lot of friends. I don't know about you, Lauren, who are texting me being like, how is it this close? Why is it not a landslide?
