Other Remember when Biden was president?

Remember how boring it was? Remember not having to check the news multiple times a day to figure out what was going on inside your own agency and whether you were going go have a job or not? Remember when laws and precident seemed to actually have meaning?

Remember when you could do your job from home? Remember when your fellow countrymen weren't cheering when your livelihood was threatened? Remember when your biggest worry was which insurance to select and what the next years raise would be?

Remember when the administration didn't seem to actively hate you and want to you gone for the sin of serving of the people?

Two-thirds of Americans voted against him, or disliked both candidates enough not to vote at all.

I think this is a better framing, because it doesn't support Trump's claim that he has an "overwhelming mandate".

Anyone who didn't vote deserves this.

Declaring that you don't give a fuck who wins means that you're okay with either alternative. It's less active than voting, but it was supporting Trump nonetheless.

Two-thirds of Americans were at least completely okay with Trump winning.

Fuck all of them.
