The American people were given a choice of a black woman who promised to restore women's bodily autonomy and to tax the ultra-wealthy in order to help the elderly stay in their homes, invest in infrastructure and green technology, which creates jobs while mitigating climate change, and pass common sense gun restrictions. Or they could choose a proven fraud, rapist, and liar who promised the impossible task of throwing out all the fucking Mexicans, Muslims, and trans people, to murder his opposition, to raise everyone's taxes, thereby crashing the economy, and to put a vaccine denier in charge of public health and a failing businessman in charge of slashing a third of the federal budget, causing "temporary hardship."
And by affirmative choice or indifference, the American people went with the grotesque, vulgar carnival barker.
We deserve the suffering that is coming, and it is a tragedy that we will drag millions of people in the rest of the world down with us.
For the first time in my 50 years of life, I no longer want to be an American citizen because we are truly the stupidest, cruelest people in the world.
