Okay, you know the rest of it. Yet, we are stubbornly sticking to a path that leads to unmitigated evil and the possible doom of all of us. Trump (joined by most of the GOP) is leading America down that path. Yet, here we are with our petty grievances and differences, fighting, screeching at each other, scratching, kicking, moaning, bitching, and venting hatred.

I've more or less accepted that we Dems are going to fuck ourselves over (along with the rest of the world) by letting Trump become president.

Yeah, I know. You've read this crap before. The problem is that it isn't crap. It's reality. And denying reality doesn't make it go away.

Let me say that I know I'm wasting keystrokes here (probably a form of masturbation). So go ahead with your internecine warfare. I'm at the point right now where I'm planning on getting a crate of tequila, finding a cave and ignoring it all. The only thing I hope for is that it all turns out okay in the end. But there's a saying: "Wish in one hand, pee in the other and see which one fills up first."
