Oh come on. This was going ultra viral from the first fist pump. It's just about the worst thing that could happen right now and conservatives are going to be rubbing it in our faces for months. We have to get the jokes in where we can just to cope.

Maybe I'm being over-sensitive. I feel burnt out.

We might as well be laughing as the ship sinks

Crying and laughning simultaneously as I apply for a visa to leave this, as our facist overlord would say, “shithole country”

I want to laugh but my stomach still hasn't unclenched. We've seen enough historical dictator shit to recognize the almost-perfect setup here. I am not implying that this is a conspiracy, but it sure feels like watching the beginning of a dystopia film, except it's real, and there's not much we can do about it. If you're already at the laughing phase, I'm mostly just jealous.
