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.
