I am heartsick, as I’m sure most of you are. I had such hope we could move forward. Now we’re about to sink into a muck of corruption and ignorance. You probably know we’ve also lost the Senate. We still don’t know which party will take the House, so there’s still some hope House Democrats can put a brake on some things the MAGAts will try to do.
Tom Nichols at The Atlantic reminds us that Democracy is not over. But we have a lot of work to do to save it.
And I need some time before I can write any more. Do feel free to express yourselves in the comments.
It's hard to find a silver lining here, maybe the fact that he can only serve one term (assuming his apple polishers in congress don't find a way to subvert the constitution)? It's hard to believe but here we are again, we survived his first term I think we can survive his second?

He may not make it through four years. He's barely functional now. Of course, as I've said, he doesn't care about doing the job, and as long as he can sit at the desk, sign his name and collect the perks he's happy, and the people around him will be running the executive branch. Still, as he gets worse J.D. Vance is going to get itchy to get him out of the way, already.
Wake me up in four years.
I recently saw "Oppenheimer". The movie did a great job portraying the anguish he felt over the horror he unleashed in the atomic bomb, while simultaneously showing the herd cheering its destructive power. That's how I feel today. The herd wants fascism, and fascism they're gonna get.
I wish I could run away. I continue to work my tail off so I can. The thought also flashed through my mind, that Gulag was pretty smart to leave when he did.
The same thought crossed my mind.
FASCIST TAKKKOVER!!!!

I've decided that the best thing to do as always is to try and have a little fun. We are certainly going to live through the biggest political shit show in the history of modern democracy but all is not lost. Much of the next few years will be tragic but alot of it is going to be hilarious (in a scary clown sort of way). There will be pain it's inevitable, but we will be part of history. The level of pain will vary, if they don't fuck with the VA or SSI oo much then I'll just suffer the economic slowdown dirty air and water the reemergence of smallpox, whooping cough, measles, polio, thyroid, along with everyone else. I'm sure for some it's too early but at this point we all did what we could do, we voted. Now it's survival time might as well try to have a little fun.
