Comment on How will you celebrate?

I won’t celebrate. Not because I’m not pleased, but because the fight is not over, and unfortunately, many who “woke up” to fascism thanks to Trump will happily go right back to sleep and stop voting and stop caring, which helps the fascist Republicans continue to attack our democracy.

Trump is evil, but it’s not like he’s the only evil man in a sea of reason; Republicans are fascists and in many ways (i.e. sans dementia) as bad or worse.

Also, depending on how he dies, his cult will absolutely go bug-fucking bonkers, making him into a martyr, or maybe it’ll spark violence. It is unlikely to end well.
