Have faith in decency and sense
The nerves, the jitters, the hopeful expectations - seen it all before. This is my fifth presidential election at DU and I'm not even a US citizen!
No matter how intense and ultra-focused we are on DU, there is a broad and varied electorate that just wants rid of this guy. They are quiet, don't participate in online forums or groups and just simply vote with their conscience; they do what is right.
That silent electorate has had enough of Trump and his malarkey. They want a return to the world that is safe, reliable and predictable.
I feel grieviously for you my US friends, for the past four years of outrages to decency, for the wontless cruelty and the destruction of polite and considerate society. You have spent four years looking into the abyss....
You will rejoice in a few days time.

We're going to need all the friends we can gather in the next four years.
I believe Joe, Kamala and their new administration will settle a lot of nerves around the globe....
Are waiting to *normalise relations with the US. Waiting to return to a normal level of communication and co-operation. This term has been a dirty stain on the history of the US but will be over soon. 
...but I’ll still be here. Since it’s now 2:00 a.m., I think what I need to do is go to bed. 
Thanks for the boost of optimism. I think you're right, but no one can be completely relieved until Tuesday night.
