  • Ah yes, a “Thanks Obama” meme.

    Maybe it was over when Citizens United was ruled on? Maybe it was over when Reganomics set in? Maybe it was over when we failed to hold Nixon accountable for his crimes? Maybe it was over last November when people decided that allowing a twice impeached fascist felon dictator to hold the highest office was an acceptable result as long as a thousand+ year turf scrabble between two theologically opposed peoples on the other side of the fucking planet remained unresolved?


  • Democracy was at immediate risk last November. You’re looking at a tangled mess of metal and meat after an 80mph head on collision and saying “we need to swerve or there might be a wreck”

    Congress is under sole Republican control. There will be no impeachments. The presidency is under sole Trump control. There will be no restraint. The Supreme Court is under sole theological control. There will only be partisan rulings to further a Christian nationalist state.

    Our only hope is to hunker down and make them work for every inch, and then flip Congress in 2 years. Which probably won’t happen because…I dunno, something going on with Syria will cause people to protest vote or abstain from voting out the fucking fascists that are here.




  • It was a fuck you to the US government.

    Fucking wrong. It was a “fuck you” to my niece, born with a lifelong medical condition. It was a “fuck you” to my non-cis partner. It was a “fuck you” to my trans cousin. It was a fuck you to my gay neighbor. It was a fuck you to all the little girls who are going to be forced to give birth before their 13th birthday. It was a “fuck you” to kids just trying to go to public school and get some semblance of an education. The only people it wasn’t a “fuck you” for, were the goddamn knuckle dragging hooting bigots who wanted trump in office. Someday, hopefully, we’ll get another election, and I hope, if you’re still alive, that you remember that voting isn’t just a right, it’s a fucking responsibility, and when you squander your vote on a useless protest when the fate of the entire country is on the line, and you know that it is, you won’t fucking waste it, like you did last year.
