    Yeah this is fucked up. Imagine being targeted and demonized by half the country and our entire soon-to-be government, while our “left wing” candidates and pundits just treated you like political hot potato all year. I especially feel for kids whose families don’t even support them. Hope these hotlines stay well staffed at least…

      Time to donate to teen shelters in the blue cities because I suspect a whole bunch of kids are going to be needing that help soon.

      If you (whoever happens to be reading this comment) are someone who is able, make a space in your home now for an unexpected long-term guest. This is definitely complicated if your guest is a minor, but there are also plenty of people who are 18 or older and still living with parents/siblings/other who will be safer staying elsewhere.
