    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 now aware that the US contains 71 million fascists, racists, sexist, bigots, or a combination of all 4.

      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.

        Every time something terrible happens, we expect that at least we got to learn from the experience.
