I'm Still Reeling From 2016. Am I Now Allowed to Hope Again? (mega barf alert)

I remember exactly where I was when The New York Times needle on my phone went from a cool blue “everything is fine; we’re gonna make history, baby” to a fiery red “the carnival barker reality television host is going to take away all of your rights.” I was at a friend’s loft in Soho. That was before the pandemic ended all the normal stuff, like parties, dinners, and funerals for loved ones. That was New York City before the refrigerated trucks and the field hospital in Central Park. That was before the children in camps, the Muslim ban, the swamp of corruption. That was before Jared Kushner “solved” coronavirus and told us that Donald Trump, not the doctors, was now in charge.

That night, after I left my friend's home in something of a daze, I wandered the darkened streets of Soho. Then I went home to a fitful sleep, and I woke at 3 a.m. to find that Hillary Clinton had officially lost and Donald Trump had actually won. It was a gut punch—but nothing was worse than telling my 8-year-old daughter that the guy with all the sexual assault allegations was now going to be president of the United States.

The last four years of the Trump administration have been hard on all of us, though arguably not as hard for me as for the children being kept in the camps without soap or toothbrushes or the deported mothers or the 228,701 people who’ve died of coronavirus or their grieving families. But it’s pretty hard to argue than any of us is better off than we were four years ago. After all, four years ago we could go to Europe, or at least just leave the house.

As if you needed to guess, that's her on the right.

FTA:

"But it’s not just the Trump administration’s mishandling of the pandemic that’s so exhausting. The president’s baseline nuttiness is just crushing. I’m so tired of the chaos. Every single day is a Saturday night massacre in Trumpworld. It’s Watergate every single week. It’s the Teapot Dome every two hours. I’m so tired of looking at my phone and finding out that the president has done another insane thing to capture the news cycle. We’re no longer Trump’s constituents; we’re his hostages."

Democrats only believe in democracy when they are allowed to steal elections.

[Fai Mao]

This woman needs help. She is absolutely mentally ill.

“I’m Still Reeling From 2016. Am I Now Allowed to Hope Again?”

YES. Yes you are MS Jong Fast! Please get your hopes as high as a kite! Bet money on it! You will not be disappointed.

[workerbee]

That’s no woman.

[This_Dude]

“am I allowed to hope again?”

Nope.

We will drink your tears, take pleasure in your sorrow, and revel in your misery.

[Kartographer]

HER? Can we get a DNA test?

[MuttTheHoople]

Am I Now Allowed to Hope Again?

No.

[shelterguy]

“””“the carnival barker reality television host is going to take away all of your rights.””””””

Which rights got taken away? I must have missed it.

[This_Dude]

I seriously cannot wait for the orgy of libtard despair and anger.

Even years later,their reactions to 2016 is the pinnacle of schadenfreude entertainment. It just never gets old. Videos of Hillary tards crying and young turks dude yelling at the camera and that madcow lesbo crying still rolls across my YouTube feed.

[GOYAKLA]

Crocodile Dundee, wouldn’t even test that!

[Trump.Deplorable]

We need to make sure creepy Joe gets buried to badly that these people end up in mental institution where they belong

I love politics, the discussions, this place and all but I would never allow it to control myself that this individual has. Something is wrong with him/her.

Twitter whore Molly Jong-Fisted weighs in...

This know-nothing has been crying on Twitter for four straight years. She has mental problemms.

[blue state conservative]

Erica Jong is her mother. That explains it.

[Bonemaker]

"I was at a friend’s loft in Soho." Sorry it broke you and her's 69 Ms Jerk-Fast.😎

[Olog-hai]

Someone whose mother is Erica Jong had no chance of thinking clearly, unfortunately.

[McGavin999]

No Molly, you will never have hope again. It’s not over, it’s going to go on and on and on. You need to move to another country if you want to maintain your sanity. May I suggest Cuba or Venezuela.

[Olog-hai]

A friend’s loft in Soho . . . did they drink champagne that tastes just like Coca-Cola?

[Magic Fingers]

“Which rights got taken away? I must have missed it.”

Perhaps the most “pettish” of my pet peeves. Lying bastards and the uninformed dimwits who swallow the line whole. Repeat a lie often enough...
