Well. Second day of Trump 2: Electric Boogaloo and... Idk, I thought I'd feel more? I didn't give it much thought yesterday but I figured maybe reality still hadn't set in. But I think it is set in, I think it's just. Idk. This reality doesn't feel all that different to me? Like, it obviously is different, of course it is. The two major parties are ( Read more... )
