The only thought that keeps me from despair is that, in the chaos to come, not much gets done.

On July 3, I wrote a long post on FB about how this election was not just about electing a president, it was also about electing their administration, and reminding everyone of the parade of deplorables that made up Trump's first term -- and pointing out that in a second term, they would be exponentially worse. TO QUOTH MYSELF:

"People who not only lack any meaningful qualifications for whatever job Trump shoved them into, but who lack any meaningful qualifications beyond the biological for being a human being. People whose only interest in taking the job would be the abuse they could inflict on the citizenry and the country and the world through the power they would now hold. People who in every sense of the phrase do not think the law applies to them, and who would be supported in that belief by the Supreme Court. People who do not think your life and freedom matter. And people who would have no compunction whatsoever about taking either or both from you, by whatever means necessary."

Usually I like being right but this time it fuckin sucks.
