As bad as Trump's first term was, this one is just... so unspeakably worse.
A part of me wants to dwell on placing blame, on shouting at every leftist and so-called progressive who refused to vote for Harris. But that's not useful right now.
How I feel those who refused to vote for Harris is immaterial, as is how they feel about their own votes (or lack thereof). I hope instead that they have learned their lesson, as some of them actually may not have even after 2016.
More than that, I hope that there will still be a chance for them learning their lesson to be useful.
Enough of this for now; I need to go digging for some hope.

This really is the bad timeline :( I did not have 'USA and Russia team up to become the Nazis they once beat,' as any kind of expectation in my life.

That said, The Daily Show is new tonight, and I am fully expecting Jon Stewart to go apeshit about having covered what's going on in Venezuela twenty years ago already.

That is the only thing I'm finding comforting about it. We found a way out the other side last time, maybe we will again.
