"...you can’t love your country only when you win. You can’t love your neighbor only when you agree.”

No, but I can loathe and detest a deliberate and indefatigable liar, someone whose entire campaign was a tissue of lies laced together with racism and xenophobia. Never forget that Trump and Vance made up the lie that Haitians were eating peoples pets, then doubled down on it when challenged.

The forgotten American, furious at wealth inequality, has voted for the most regressive tax policy in living memory, when you factor in that almost nothing could be more regressive than across the board tariffs. We bought the ticket, let's take the ride. Because no matter what happens, we've accomplished the two most important things: Own the libs, and prevent a woman of color from becoming president. That'll teach her to know her place and not humiliate the man on the debate stage like that!

Harris's displays of manifest competence and ability never really merited her serious consideration, only resentment and boys' club kleptocrats talking amongst themselves about how stupid she is. The unfairness of it all, where someone smart, prepared, and caring, loses to someone as lazy and stupid as Trump, while the apparatchiks and propagandists go into overdrive flooding the zone with lies that truth is fantasy and lies are reality, really is a lot to take in.
