Earlier this week, we asked our Nextdoor audience about how they feel about the election results. Some had very specific reasons, while other answers were simple. Let’s take a look.
Roger B.
“Relieved and thankful. Perhaps a start on moving towards democracy? Thank you, voters!”
Eddie K.
“SHOCKED.”
Danie W.
“Feeling proud to be a Texan for the first time.”
Joan F.
“I’m wearing all black in mourning! So sad for our state and country.”
Kate B.
“Light has finally appeared at the end of this long tunnel. Dow up, oil interestingly down. The unnecessary war will hopefully end.”
Juli S.
“It was very disappointing and actually unbelievable that there’s that many people who are so full of hate for Trump that they would vote to support communism. But, never fear! God is still in control.”
Dorothy C.
“How do I feel? Very glad it’s over. No more political calls, text, or mail.”
Mary T.
“I’m very happy and proud of my state. Texas!”
Patricia C.
“ I am hopeful for changes to gas prices, food prices, the availability of items that keep running out, meals for our babies in schools all over America, and relief on high medical services. Just to name a few things.”
Lawrence S.
“I know things are not changing overnight. But it’s a breath of fresh air. Most citizens have had enough of the present corrupt administration!! It’s a great feeling.”
Steve M.
“Same fabulous wife, same good old mutt dog, and God is still looking out for me. Unless I choose to get all riled up about politicians and the current news cycle, all is well.”
Mina G.
“A dream come true!!!”
Lizzy G.
“Very disappointed, angry and scared. Sad for TX and America.”
Dawn T.
“So happy. Texas is freaking blue.”
Leslie C.
“Elated!”
Michelle W.
“Hopeful! Relieved! Lighter!!”
Craig M.
“I am encouraged that the election results repudiate the onerous policies and actions of the current administration. I worry that nothing much will change as there is not a veto-proof majority unless the Democrats can convince some Republicans to work with them. Truly, Republicans should consider working with Democrats on policies to stop the war, improve affordability, and reduce the country’s funding of Israel. But I do not think they will. Why? Well, for the most part, the Republicans that remain are in the reddest districts (in the House) instead of the moderates (I don’t really know if there were any moderate Republicans the last few years though). I think that means Republicans will dig in their heels and just obstruct progress (even though the country very clearly wants change).”
