See, this isn’t 2016.
2016/2017, I had hope. I felt the election swung by a very small margin, that if we endured the next few years, people would see the light and we’d make up enough to kick him out in 2020.
Well, we did. What I didn’t predict was we’d have him forced on us again four years later, after everything he’s put us through since he came down that escalator.
Even if the election was stolen and we had proof, what’s that going to do?
Even if he commits crimes, what’s that going to do? Because the past nine years have taught us nobody being above the law is only true in theory, not in practice.
Even if there’s an election where we win the House in two years, and the White House and Senate in four, what kind of gargantuan mess will we be cleaning up? How much more damage will be done to this country that will take decades to undo?
Eight years ago, I felt like fighting. Now, I just feel like throwing in the towel. That energy that EnergizedLib once had is gone.
And to think, maybe all of this could have been avoided if people actually knew what a tariff was.
Just one week in in 2017, I asked if it was 2020 yet. And now?
We’re all being taken for a ride, and it won’t be pretty. The leopards will be eating all of our faces, whether we voted for it or not.
