RIP American Democracy July 4, 1776 to January 20, 2025

I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear how Biden should have done this or that the Harris campaign screwed up or any nonsense other than this is what the American people want and frankly deserve. This is a country full of xenophobic, racist, misogynistic idiots. People looked in the shop window saw a steaming pile of shit and said, "I'll have that." They selected a lying, narcissistic, whining criminal who's on the verge of dementia. They picked someone wholly unfit for any elected office. They picked someone who admires dictators, doesn't believe climate change is real, demonizes immigrants. They picked a boor who lacks an ounce of empathy, who demeans the political process, who has no respect for freedom of speech or freedom of the press. Hell, he doesn't understand let alone respect the constitution of the United States.

I also don't ever want to hear some idiot politician say of the U.S.: this is the greatest country in the world. If they do utter that meaningless platitude just point them to this election. Just point out Trumpy and remind them that the American people gave him the presidency twice, despite his criminality despite his abuses, despite his insults, despite his stupidity, despite his recklessness. Despite the fact that he has said (and this is one of many, many examples) without the slightest bit of evidence that wind turbines cause cancer, kill thousands of birds and effect the mental health of whales. That's the guy. That's the once and future president of the United States. He'll say ANYTHING and people will swallow it whole, then say, more please.

How do you offer hope at a time like this? The magnitude of what the American people have done is incalculable. It beggars belief and there's no telling what it portends. We can say what it reflects: this is nation of the idiots, by the idiots and for the idiots and it may soon perish from this Earth.
