All the crazy shit that has happened with this election, compounded with the rest of the year makes me rethink things. Maybe things have gotten fucked up so badly that we aren't in clown world anymore; we've upgraded to Hellworld, the full premium package of endless war, corporate cronyism and blatant government tyranny all stuffed into the broken wind-up toy that is Joe Biden. The talk of "Russia gate" over the years almost makes me wish for an actual Russian occupation. Hell, at least then we'd be ruled over by people who don't want to fucking exterminate us.
