I've been on a trip down memory lane... The world has changed, but oh, I remember those days. Have been listening to this one on repeat for days:

Watch on YouTube

("But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.")

Watch on YouTube

Good luck America. ♥ Goodness knows we could use some hope over here...

ETA:

If you’re in a 500-person conga line screaming in victory with honking traffic, STAY IN LINE

ALSO THIS BECAUSE IT'S FUNNY.

History will record that this was Donald Trump’s last tweet before he lost the 2020 presidential election #Election2020 https://t.co/Wr5rIbMRyh

ETA2: Damn. This is powerful.

Today is a good day.
It’s easier to be a parent this morning.
Character MATTERS.
Being a good person MATTERS.
This is a big deal.

It’s easy to do it the cheap way and get away with stuff — but it comes back around.

Today is a good day.#PresidentBiden #VotersDecided pic.twitter.com/h8YgZK4nmk

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Thanks for sharing those Twitter threads. Seeing people coming out to cheer the postal truck made me tear up. Some great comments in the threads, such as "Another mail truck just stopped in front of an outdoor bar to lay on the horn. Not sure any of us grasped how personally postal workers took the last few months."

Listening to things like the recording of horns and cheering in Manhattan makes me think that this is what it must have been like when VE day was declared. I've certainly never seen any response like this to any previous presidential election.

Also:

Hillary Clinton
He would be proud today.
Quote Tweet

John Lewis
The right to vote is precious, almost sacred. It is the most powerful nonviolent tool or instrument in a democratic society. We must use it.

John Lewis and Elijah Cummings are dancing in the clouds right now, along with RBG and so many others who fought for justice and love.

Did you see this, which shadowkat linked to below?

I just took a look at it, and now have a big grin on my face!

I love it to bits. :)

I saw that too!! And yes, that so much. And I hoped people would follow the links and look through the threads.

I think you're onto something. People were happy when Obama won, but the sheer relief, the lifting of the burden... That's new.

And oh, I'll have to go look up that Hillary tweet. Thank you. <3
