So, here we are.
The 1,461st and final day of the Trump administration. At long, LONG last.
We "made it."

Except, of course, for all those who didn't.
All the Puerto Ricans who died in the hurricane.
All the brown people who died in ICE custody.
All the black people murdered by emboldened fascistic police.

Everyone killed by a rain of bullets fired by his most unhinged supporters.
Everyone killed in pro-Trump "protests" in Charlottesville and DC.
Everyone killed by the drone strikes he ordered, which far surpassed those of his predecessor.

And of course, all the hundreds of thousands of citizens who needlessly died due to his unapologetically shitty, disastrous response to Covid.
Really, in some ways it's a wonder any of us survived at all.

Technically, I guess it could've gone worse. At least he never launched any nukes, right? Though, let's not pretend his reticence to do so was anything other than abject cowardice.

And don't get me wrong, this was DEFINITELY a case where cowardice became a positive attribute...but what does it tell you about a guy when his most positive attribute, bar none, is his cowardice?

Trump is the worst President we've ever had.
It's such a basic fact at this point that you may as well be acknowledging ice is just frozen water. When you factor in EVERYTHING, Trump is easily the worst President we've ever had, no competition.

We've had evil Presidents. We've had stupid Presidents. We've had racist Presidents. We've had inept Presidents. We've had corrupt Presidents. We've had petty, shortsighted, miserable, loveless, abusive, violent Presidents.
Until Trump, we never quite had "all of the above."

And anyone with half a brain could see it. From Day One of his candidacy, from the moment he set foot on that goddamn fucking escalator, we could all see it. I have precious little sympathy for anyone who couldn't or wouldn't. You could've trusted us. You chose not to.

And now that we're so close to being done with the fucker...
I dunno, I guess I expected I'd be feeling more joy. More relief. More inclination to sing "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" or something.
But I don't. Maybe I will tomorrow. Right now, all I feel is cold and numb.

I dunno, I guess I expected I'd have more wisdom on the subject.
That's a lie we like to tell ourselves, isn't it? That trauma wisens us. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and all that happy horseshit.

It doesn't. If anything it usually makes you weaker. Not always a WORSE person necessarily, but more often than not a weaker one.
NONE OF THIS was worth it, dammit. None of it.

"Look how exposed our systemic issues are now!"

Y'know what this REALLY feels like, more than anything else?
The funeral episode of Bojack Horseman.
If you haven't seen it, you should. Even if you've never seen any other episode. S5E6, "Free Churro." It's a self-contained, self-explanatory bottle episode.

The ENTIRE EPISODE, except for a brief cold open flashback to Bojack's childhood, is Bojack giving a 21-minute eulogy for his mother. His abusive, hateful, horrible, dead mother.

And it's just 21 solid minutes (a tour de force voice acting job from incidentally) of this talking horse spilling his guts out, coming to grips with her death, but moreover, her life. And his life with her. And the trauma she inflicted, and his coping mechanisms.

And his complicated emotions about it all. And the ways we strive to find a fucking POINT to it all, amid the hopeless pointlessness.
He HATED this woman his whole life, but her passing brings no joy or relief. Only a slightly different shade of misery.

That's how this all feels, man. We're all giving that long rambling eulogy right now.
I lost my own mother to breast cancer in 2012. She was the polar opposite of Bojack's mom, and I miss her every day. It's a pain that never ends.

And the ONLY thought that ever occurred to me that even REMOTELY resembled a silver lining about her pointless, needless, mind-bogglingly undeserved demise is, "Well, at least she was spared the horrors of witnessing the Trump era."

She was the kind of woman who didn't really hate anyone, but I know for a fact she would've LOATHED Trump.
She couldn't STAND shitheads who couldn't or wouldn't ever admit personal fault.

And when you boil it all the way down, that's who Trump was. Just another shithead who couldn't or wouldn't admit personal fault, who spoke to all the similar shitheads out there.
What is a fascist dictator, if not a narcissist with extra steps?

We are gonna be unraveling the collective trauma of having lived through the Trump era for many MANY years. Perhaps even the rest of our lives.
Because the truth is, we're NOT done with the fucker. Not really.

Even after tomorrow, we'll still have to deal with his heavily-armed cult, and their no-doubt countless attempts to storm DC again and "take back their country."

We'll still have to deal with a right-wing media landscape happy to let him continue showing his ass and sowing more and more discord.
We'll still have to deal with a cowardly Republican party, eager to sweep their own complicity under the rug and pretend to want "unity."

And most of all, we'll have to deal with the constant staggering realization that we live in a country that actually fucking LET THIS SHIT HAPPEN.

And even if Biden miraculously undoes ALL his damage (spoiler: he won't) we'll still have to deal with the collective trauma of having lived through it all. Just one fucking calamity after another for four years and counting. It never goddamn ends.
Until tomorrow.
Kinda.

I'm gratified so many people seem to be getting a lot out of this thread.
Normally when one of my tweets gets over a thousand likes, that's my cue to plug my dumb content...but this time, I'm just gonna implore y'all to be kind to each other. It's chaos, and we're all we've got.

Let's not forget the 13 people trump had executed from death row. Didn't Sotomayor say Trump killed more people directly and willfully that way than the country had in the last 60 years?
