    I agree, hindsight is 20/20 and if he would have just won then, this would have all been over yesterday.

    But now, we’re 75 days from being an actual dictatorship, and when we help Russia flatten Europe we’ll also be an axis power.
    Every time I think we’re in the worst possible timeline the universe says “bet” and throws us another curveball.
    I’m getting really fucking tired of living in an era that will be fascinating to read about in future history books.

      I compared these threads to the one in 2016 announcing the win. Mostly different vibes(more awe and surprise and ‘maybe it won’t be so bad’ and less horror), but two things in common.

      1. Brexit comparisons(2016 had more, but still)
      2. People blaming a dead beloved mammal for cursing the timeline(Squirrelboy is up there with Harambe now…)
