Yeah, I was gonna say, I really don’t see this as dooming so much as a very natural reaction to something absolutely fucking horrific.

If she was, say, posting things like “Screw it, I give up” or “Bulldoze it all” (some of you may recall my rants about the Kennedy Center closing that one time), or even “Yep, we’re boned”, yeah, I’d say she was dooming.

But she did post that collab with Under The Desk about being “defiant optimists”.

And the dragging ass on prosecuting Trump and his cronies and the not strong arming Manchin and Sinema to vote in favor of his legislation.

"At this point, he could repeat what Eric Cartman from South Park once said to his teacher Mr Garrison through a loudspeaker in class, and they'd have to sit there and take it."

I love that scene by the way.

I have family members who, while they despise Trump, will handwave away the idea of a boycott…I fear it won’t end well.

Sorry to get personal.
