2020 has truly been an unprecedented year, and that now includes the 46th's election cycle. With votes continuing to be counted three days after the nation's turn out to the polls, t's been an emotional roller coaster of a week.

And some people just aren't having it.


Take Cardi B, a popular rapper most recently noted for "WAP," for example after she took to social media on Election night, showing off her extreme coping mechanisms as more and more states turned Red.

Early in the election result news coverage, many states turned Red right away, which was not a good sign to a Blue-leaning Cardi B.

In response, she took to Instagram and shared a quick video with the caption:

"How these elections got me watching these states turn red."

In the now-viral video, Cardi B drew the attention of every other stressed-out citizen as she smoked three cigarettes all at once.

In the past, Cardi B has been a vocal advocate for progressive change, and she has openly criticized President Donald Trump's place in the White House.

Her response to Biden's running for Office emphasized her personal preference for being well-informed, especially regarding the pandemic.

"I just want Trump out. His mouth gets us in trouble so much."
"I don't want someone to lie to me and tell me that it's OK not to wear a mask, that everything is going to be OK. I want a president to tell me what the steps are for us to get better."

Inevitably seeing so many states go Red was hard on the artist, and many of Cardi B's followers felt her reaction to the results, viewing her video as a whole Election Day "mood."

Others at the time tried to comfort the rapper, pointing out there was still a long road to victory left.

Since posting this video, the majority of states have submitted their totals, but with how close the race appears to be, the fact that the election cycle is nearly complete isn't providing the people much comfort.

With major swing states like Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania continuing to count their votes indefinitely, everyone is feeling the pressure.

Though we may not all cope the same way, it's pretty safe to say we've all felt a little like Cardi B this week.

Pope Leo's Brother Sparks Outrage Over Vile Posts About Nancy Pelosi And Parents Of Trans Kids

The brother of Robert Prevost, a Chicago-born Roman Catholic Augustine cleric who last week became the newly-elected Pope Leo XIV, is facing heated criticism after some of his older Facebook posts resurfaced and revealed that he'd shared a video calling Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi a "drunk c**nt" as well as a transphobic meme about transgender children.

For instance, in an April 23 post, Prevost claimed that former President Obama desired “the total destruction of our way of life” and aimed to turn the U.S. into a dictatorship, adding that it would be “a racist one on top of it.” He had previously pushed a conspiracy theory alleging that “OBAMA WAS A CIA ASSET, PUT IN PLACE TO DESTROY THE USA.”

The letter marked the latest step in President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
