2020 was... truly unique. It was so hard to stay away from doom scrolling, and I (and many others) were pretty disillusioned by the sad fact that so much of our country legitimately supported the Orange Man. I didn't get a wink of sleep the night of the election because I genuinely considered it to be a make or break decision for America.

My point is that looking back on it, in the end the only real difference I made was at the ballet box. This year I'm going for the Head-in-the-Sand approach. I'm done with the political memes. Done with the Twitter screenshots. It just riles me up and this year I'm gonna do my best to fight that.

Marxists are worse than fascists. Just as evil, just as retarded, just as violent, just as hateful. A failed murderous ideology has no place in modern times and it will never happen. You will never be a revolutionary and you will never, ever come to poewr... and for good reason too. All you can and ever will do is larp on the internet while swimming in a sea of willful ignorance. I, like most people, am glad that is the case.
