If nothing else it will be a delight seeing all the hatred and blame for everything that Republicans have directed at Obama over the last eight years turned right back on them. They are the dog that caught the car. What the fuck do they do now?

Execution style.

George W seemed like a harmless idiot until he got the country to rally around him after 9/11. He wasn't nearly as unpopular as Trump is… and is going to be.

If we can keep Trump and the never-Trumpers at war with each other long enough (and Trump will definitely declare war on them), we'll be able to route their incompetent asses without significant damage.

I know I'm tired because I stared at that headline for a few seconds before realizing it wasn't gibberish

Growing up, I thought the internet was the solution to everything. Information is free, right, guys? So much for that. Lotta people are going to suffer now.

Yesterday we lived in a world where this seemed like a relatively surmountable problem as opposed to yet another example of the yawning, ever-growing gap between white people and, uh, everyone else.

Suddenly the idea of pop culture itself seems fragile

But it was demonstrably due to Republican incompetence in a way that could be skewed or distorted. Here, the Democrats are absolutely powerless. They can't do anything and the public knows it. When shit hits the fan, people will want an adult.

This is what gives me hope. Things will get demonstrably worse once Trump takes office with an all-republican house and senate, almost immediately. And middle-class white Americans, since they are fairly comfortable right now, will feel that. They'll be shaken and they'll vote.

Radiohead. A lot of Radiohead at the moment.

David Bowie - Five Years
Neutral Milk Hotel - Oh Comely
REM - Oddfellows Local 151
AJJ - Fuck White People
YG & Nipsey Hussle - Fuck Donald Trump

Oh. I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. I would agree.

He has no ideology. He's a coward who will do whatever Pence tells him, and that means becoming the far-right theocrat that the GOP has been pining for.

Yeah, you'll be singing a different tune in a few years. Have fun celebrating while it lasts.

It is, but unfortunately people are incredibly naive and also jaw-droppingly stupid, so that's what's going to happen.

There had better be an enormous fucking blowout in 2020.

I am going to have to eat or sleep eventually, but I haven't been able to do either for about twelve hours now.

Colbert is a good man and he doesn't deserve the shit people will inevitably give him for this, but I'm not optimistic. About unity, or… anything.

I have no idea what normal is now.
