    Personally, it kinda feels like a weight’s been lifted. Now I can let go of the last shred of pretense of this country being anything other than a fat fucking joke.

      I’m with you there. I mean don’t get me wrong, I sure do feel depressed and also morbidly curious/looking forward to the upcoming schadenfreude, but yeah just accepting that America is really a racist country and it’s not going to change.

      Just going to bide my time here since I’m too old to move even with a tech job and encourage my kid to go to college abroad.

      I was really hoping this sentiment would take hold the first time Trump won and it would awaken people to the boiling pot mass charade we are in.

      It did not.

      I do not have much hope for this time around.

        I stopped by Walmart today and spent the entire time painfully aware that I was… surrounded.
