And I will never forget the hordes of people and elected officials who bent the knee to him and enabled so much fuckery and damage to happen.

First, let’s all assume and hope that trump DOES in fact leave office peacefully.

I watched this live and by the end of it I had rivers of tears streaming out of my eyes. It was relief, of course, that I was listening to the rational speech of a man who could very well be our next president. But it was also this feeling of the shock of the contrast to what we’ve been living - this has been hell…

Oh, I will NEVER forget. Not now, not ever. 

This is nice and wonderful. Put the anger behind us and all that. But let’s also never forget. A lot of damage has been done. Trump and his crime family should be held accountable.

I remember how at the time HP fans fought to the death for him and her.

By beating your wife.

On the one hand, yes. On the other, supporting her works gives her a platform and the funds needed to continue her attacks on trans rights and identities. 

To be fair, she did create a world that has helped many people in many ways. People have found their own identities through the Potterverse, even if she doesn’t agree with it. She may be a terrible person, but there’s no denying what the world she created has done for people. I think that is more important than her…

Depp abused one person. Rowling has reach to millions. 

As you mentioned, they refused to air it on MSNBC, so I switched to CNN and... wheeeeew boy...someone’s becoming (more) unhinged.

Another reason for hope: the only place where Trump could plausibly bring a lawsuit is Pennsylvania and it’s currently looking like it won’t matter anyway since it’s likely Biden won Nevada Wisconsin and Michigan which in addition to flipping Arizona and Nebraska-2 gives Biden exactly 270 electoral votes

I don’t have hope. I’ve long stopped believing that Americans will do the right thing when a buffoon is at the helm, especially in 2004.

The modicum of hope I feel now has to do with the fact that Biden’s attorneys are very well-prepared for the eventual quackshittery that 45 will bring. However, if the Supreme Court undermines the election legitimacy (again), this bodes extremely ill for the future of the nation.

Cool. Let’s publish this think piece on Jan 21, 2021 if we have the luxury the moment DONALD FUCKING TRUMP IS NO LONGER THE PRESIDENT.

A Biden win is not a victory in and of itself, but it is a means to an end. If you think anybody - sex workers and the countless other marginalized folks - will even have a seat at the table in the second Trump term, then you’re sorely mistaken.  This is not a “both sides don’t care about x” this is, “one side will…

God willing he strokes out before midterms.

He’s really going to be mad when Biden wins, Twitter blocks his account, the banks come after him for 4 mil in bad loans, and the feds come after him for tax evasion, and Fox News suddenly won’t custom tailor their programming to him or take his calls anymore.

The funniest thing will be if Biden blows him out in a historically lopsided win that gets Democrats the Senate and Presidency, and he then calls into Fox News and screams about it for two straight hours tomorrow.
