America got it wrong.
America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster.
We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here.

My wife made this interesting comparison. Joe Biden lied about not pardoning Hunter. That directly affected one person, Hunter. Trump lied about not knowing anything about Project 2025, that affects tens of millions of people. Which will get more media attention?
the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment

And that’s why I’ve turned off the news.
Block A:
Trump threatens catastrophic tariffs, nominates sex pests and thugs for cabinet positions, wants to force recess appointments, brings in the project 2025 crew, gives Elon access to gut federal agencies in place to protect against the likes of Elon...
MSM: Trump gonna Trump 🤷🏻♂️

For me, the thing that knocked the wind out of me with this election is that I dared to believe America would get it right THIS time, that America was ready for a Woman President.
It hurt having that blind faith in neighbors, friends, and strangers smacked out of me.
Dammit, America. 😞
