I really didn't believe this was going to happen. We have now willingly entrusted our future to a man who during his last four-year term as President increased the national debt by 40%, presided over the biggest single-year increase in homicides (2020), bungled our response to Covid leading directly to hundreds of thousands needless American deaths, presided over a net loss of 2.9 million American jobs, turned the White House into his own personal cash cow (charging the Secret Service over $1 million for the privilege of staying at his properties while they protected him, for example), let the government bungle its way into a total shutdown three different times, separated more than 5,000 children from their families at the US/Mexican border with no plans to reunite them, reneged on his promise to give American families a $4,000 "pay raise" in the form of tax cuts and instead helped billionaires double their wealth, labelled climate change "a hoax" and pulled out of the Paris climate accord, rolled back more than 100 environmental protections, tried (but failed) to repeal the Affordable Care Act, buddied up to Russia's Putin and exchanged what he described as "love letters" with North Korea's strongman dictator, referred to fallen US service members as "losers and suckers," presided over a huge rollback of women's rights including the overturn of Roe v. Wade, and continuously denigrated and attacked women over and over again, both in the form of actual physical assault and verbal abuse.

We knew this and yet we voted for him anyway.
America, we deserve what's coming.
