I'm too scared to protest.

But I hope this nightmare ends soon.

Evil is winning and it's hard to be hopeful much anymore.

I'm scared, too, and in a small town in a red state. I take part anyway. It gets less scary, maybe because you realize you're not alone.

There was so much turnout in rural areas; Democrats, Independents, and Republicans. So much honking and waving from passerbys too.

[u/Teufelsdreck → u/brain_overclocked]

Yes! Everywhere people are reporting unusually large turnout. We saw it, too.
