This Does Not Deserve a Title

Cogito Ergo Scribo

I am absolutely dumbfounded.

Stunned.

It feels like an alternate reality, a horror show reality, a reality in which I do NOT belong, a multiverse in which things that used to be called green are now red, a reality where the sky is not blue, but we call blue black, because that’s what our corporate overlords have decreed, and all the lemmings around me, looking up, report faithfully that the sky is indeed black, where 70 million + of my compatriots voted for an total degenerate and now this stain on humanity is the president of the United States.

I can’t even process this.

It’s game over for the climate, for our collective habitat.

It’s game over for our standing in the world.

It’s game over for non-whites.

It’s game over for social norms, for the rule of law, for any sense of decency in this country.

This is end times.

I am angry. Unbelievably angry. I am angry at my fellow citizens. I am angry at the whole world for allowing this to happen. I am so angry I can’t catch my breath. I am so angry I can’t see straight. I am so angry that I will sequester myself away from this humanity that allows this to happen, all of it, a long list of wrong and ills and evils that will continue for at least another 4 years, and probably, if the degenerate-elect is to be believed, this will be the last election this country will ever have.
