So apparantly it wasn't politics that was causing my depression, I am probably just cursed with this... (piefed.ca)

I mean I thought like "Oh great, blue tsunami. Surely I would stop being depressed and juse ride the wave and be happy right? There's hope!" I mean the logical part of my brain does see the "atmosphere" much better already.

But then emotionally its still the same darkness, maybe just one shade lighter than before, but the depression is from somewhere else.

I guess the consolation to my depression is that my state has a blue trifecta from the election so minimum wage is gonna go up to $15 but its done in phases incrementally so its only $15 by 2029, also automatically tied to inflation once the $15 is in effect so future increases is automatic and does not require governor or state legislature to be blue again.

For me its certainly things going on and the blue wave does not make much of a difference. Just did not get worse. ICE is still going and the administration is functioning as before. The new congress is not seated and that has to happen before they can take any action. It will take a ton to get us back to where we were last millenia and that is just socially. The environment is a whole nother unsolvable problem. I do hope they can get the economy going enough that I will be working again. That would definately give me a bit of a boost.
