There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

I'm just not doing great today. Can't put my finger on exactly why (you know besides capitalism and the election and war etc etc).
It was my birthday yesterday and I'm not usually bothered by getting older but I wonder if it is adding a bonus layer on the above stuff.

I was wrong about America, but I don't regret believing while I still could.
Trump's biggest-ever margin of victory means there was no One Weird Trick that would've swung the race.
He went mask-off, ran the worst campaign in modern history, and the American people chose it.
My post-election take:

America Chose This
Unlike in 2016 and 2020, it was unambiguous, and Trump's margin was large enough that I doubt there was anything Democrats could have done

I'm wondering when that oxygen mask is just to leave (for those of us lucky enough to have an escape route).
Put on your own oxygen mask first. Figure out how you can be as physically and mentally strong as possible. If that’s meditation, sit. If it’s prayer, kneel. If it’s exercise, pump. Whatever comes next, we will each need to be able to show up for ourselves and one another. Above all, love each other
