    This reminds me of so many comments from Americans saying how embarrassing Biden is as a president and that no one takes 🇺🇸’Murica🦅 seriously anymore under the Democrats. It was weird to read as a foreigner because I loosely remember what Trump was like. And now here we are again. Hope Americans are proud.

      The first time I flew out of the US after Trump became president I was so embarrassed of being American because of all the questions about his crazy ass. When I landed back in the US and saw his portrait on the wall in the airport, I stared at it perplexingly trying to understand what the fuck his stupid face was doing there….then it hit me that it’s there cause he was the president. Trump is a laughing stock and him at the helm of the US makes all Americans laughing stock for allowing this country to elect an orange makeup-caked, lying, shyster.

      So glad we get to do it again!!

        I wish I knew someone who was disappointed. The only two people in my life that aren’t Trumpers are my daughter and her fiance. Everyone else thinks that gas will get back to $1/gallon and food prices will return to pre Covid levels on Jan 21.

          I think it’s revealing that apparently as long as gas and eggs are okay, the country falling completely apart is secondary (to the voting majority).

          Sheeeesh, sorry to hear you’re living deep in the red. Proud of my state for being a spot of blue in a sea of red, but hot damn that election map was bleak.

          It’s so wild how absolutely bonkers the political climate has become just in my lifetime. There was some real optimism when I got to vote for Obama as an 18 year old. Would’ve never seen all this coming…

            Unfortunately, all this is pretty much a backlash to that event.

      Honestly, in my social circle we’re all kinda treating it like this… strange, self-inflicted, natural disaster. Like we can’t even really joke about it, still. It’s like we all know it’s gonna be bad, the only question is how bad it’s going to be. There’s a lot I’m hoping is over-reaction, but honestly that’s a pretty shitty thing to hope for and a hard hope to maintain all things considered.
