Hey, at least the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is about to be finally resolved in our lifetime.

Democratic voters just aren’t dependable, or the causes that Democrats tend to champion don’t provide them any benefits. Yes, it’s often the right thing to do to champion their rights or causes, but when the time comes and their help is needed, they’re seemingly nowhere to be found because things apparently weren’t interesting enough.

This so stupidly believable.

Nailed It

For over half the voters, the open rise of fascism was fine and not a deal-breaker. Trump has made no secret what kind of a president he was going to be. Trump’s numbers stayed the same and even did better in some places, even after running the most garbage campaign in modern history. A sizable portion of Americans want fascism.

I just played it and beat it. It was good and has a great soundtrack, it’s just a shame that you can really only play the game once. I kind of wish there had been some sort of randomization mechanic added to it so that you didn’t play the same story twice and had a different crew each time. Otherwise though, an interesting little game that had me hooked.

This is somehow less of a gut-punch than 2016 when everyone just assumed Americans would do the right thing and not elect Trump. It still sucks, but it’s less of a surprise. The writing was kind of on the wall for awhile though, just given the fact that the election was as close as it was. Even if Trump hadn’t won, that he was able to run the most garbage campaign in history and was still tying it up was pretty damning of America.

So now we watch as we just peacefully transfer power to the most vile, irresponsible person on Earth and watch the world burn.

As an American, I expected most Americans to be at least semi-rational and to recognize what a threat to democracy and our way of life that Trump is. I expected most Republicans to just vote for him out of reflex, but otherwise the rest of America would rise up in our hour of need to vote against this and save us all from this idiocy.

Nope. There was just more people lined up to vote for more idiocy. We failed the world. I’d say I’m sorry, but I don’t think that’ll help. This is America.

Until the votes are counted, this doesn’t mean shit.

I wonder if the North Koreans just can’t tell the difference, something like, “They all look the same to me” and they’re just super gung-ho and paranoid so they’re shooting at anything.
