It is a difficult time. I'm reeling. People out there who are trying to drink liberal tears, I want them to die of thirst. I don't want to give them anything. I'm not being sad on Instagram or Twitter or threads or blue sky. I'm going to be sad here for a second. I have cried in public. I haven't cried in public since my mother's death. This has really gutted me.

I think that's what I need though. That's why I had you on like. I needed you to give me permission to feel my feelings and not be too embarrassed about it. Because I'm shocked and gutted too. You know, I'm the main character in the universe, which is why Hillary Clinton lost in 2016. Because I thought she would win and God hates me.

And so he flipped a switch and she lost at the Electoral College. And I was being so careful not to let myself think Kamala Harris was going to win. But part of the mental gymnastics of not letting myself think she would win is I was thinking she would win. And so I was... doubly gutted, because again, this is all my fault.

If I am the main character of the universe.
I not only let myself think she was going to win like secretly in my heart of hearts, I thought it might be a landslide and the Dems would take the house to now the day we're talking, it looks like they might have the trifecta, which means project 20. I'm going to make myself cry. Project 2025 is going to happen soon.

This is going to be, you know, we're a couple of cis white men, although I'm a faggot and you are not, which I don't hold against you, which is why I'm having you back on the show because you're a really good therapist.

There are other people who might be more vulnerable, but it feels perilous for all of us on the left. And I don't feel safe. And if I don't feel safe, I can't imagine how, you know, trans people I know and people with immigrant family members who are not documented must feel right now. And I just, you know, I heard from a porn star today or a porn content creator as we call them now.

So we don't have to call them all stars, but a porn content creator who like read project 2025 after the election and saw that they plan to arrest porn content creators like who is just distraught. So give them hope, Jeff. Your advice is to don't feel duped by having felt hope, but also don't think about the next four and a half years or four years and some months.
