The Onion

no, but everyone wants to pretend that everyone became ultra-super racist idiot trump voters over the course of 4 years because they listened to a lot of joe rogan, rather than listening to a bunch of CNN like good little vote piggies. see one infographic of a bunch of red arrows everywhere and then everyone loses their fucking minds and decides that the only way to win the next election is to become more racist. if only they tack to the right harder, then they'll win, they just need to be more racist, see, and then it'll work!

and the problem is that this is exactly the lesson they want to learn. it's the lesson they have an interest in learning because they are also a right wing party. maybe it's because there's just gonna be more posters running around two days after the election because this is the top drama and it's eating up time they otherwise would've spent talking about celebrity drama or whatever, but we can talk for years about how the democrats, anywhere else, would be a center-right party of neoliberal warmongers that are fundamentally unwilling to give positive material concessions to basically any of their voters. as soon as the election gets called, that all vanishes, suddenly they've run the most perfect campaign of all time, and really, it was the voters that were at fault, and if anything, they should be more racist. it's not that the economy sucked, that they didn't present an enthusiastic, optimistic, or hell, coherent, vision of the future. no, it's because they just weren't racist enough.

it's 2016 all over again. the punishments will continue until morale improves, time is a flat circle, and I keep falling down the stairs.
