What were you doing the night before the 2016 election?

I was at a Stevie Nicks concert in Nashville. It was such a fun night, full of optimism about having out first female President. Of course as the next day progressed it became more apparent that the Orange Turd would be President.

I think it's the last time I felt optimistic about our country.

It worried me from the start. Something was wrong here when people would treat such a dangerous man as a viable candidate. Something was very wrong. Knowing who the GOP cheat, hearing him joke about about his connections to Russia, it gave me a sick feeling. We have been traumatized since then.

That was the first time my company sent me out here to Romania, I was awake due to the time difference. Caught a nice show with an actor I met at a gay-friendly café and had some mind-blowing sex. Thought for sure Hillary was gonna win. The next morning, when I woke up and found out the news, I walked around the local mall to Starbucks and ordered in a daze. I was so depressed I could barely finish my cheese pie and coffee. Just in a state of shock that something like that could happen and really felt like I didn't want to come home in three months. It was crazy.

I went to see Madonna do an inspiring acoustic set in Washington Square Park. We were all so happy that day. It’s hard to imagine how horrible it would get

I was in Edinburgh, Scotland on an extended vacation. Was following the news and polls from the U.S. and somewhat confident that Hillary would win, but not 100%. Can't remember what I ate for dinner but had a good night's sleep.

People who thought Hillary was a net positive are the reason Trump won.

Hillary is a failed warmonger hated by lots of people who never should have run, let alone run a shitty campaign.

I was working at an early vote center in my city, and saw so many votes for Hillary. Felt confident. I walked all the way home that night just to clear my head - watched TV later in disbelief.

After visiting West Michigan throughout the Summer and Fall of 2016, I knew Trump had a viable chance of winning. Them fanatical lawn signs, the way people were talking. When Election Night came I didn't go to the local Democratic party. I spent it alone and with a vodka bottle. I knew what was about to happen.

The night before or the night of? The night of, I was at home drinking/doing what I do at home. The night before? Probably working.
