Generic 2016 US Election Cycle Recycling Bin

Cynical thin silver lining: years ago, I wrote up notes for a World of Darkness campaign setting in a conquered city under martial law, with the PCs being in the Resistance, but I had to discard it as too far past suspension of disbelief.

Guess I can dust it off and update it now.

I blame

1 - The DNC for anointing Clinton as the 2016 nominee the day after Obama won in 2008. They ignored her likability issue ms and went full steam ahead.

2 - The Democrats who got out of her way because of her last name, likely pressured by the RNC.

3 - Every democrat is every state who didn’t vote.

4 - The RNC … They aren’t entirely happy either – for allowing the dozen or so losers run instead of forcing some semblance of unity. They tore each other up and Trump remained.

5 - Every Republican in office who put party before country and refused to stand up and say “No” to Trump.

6 - Those in the entertainment industry like Jimmy Fallon who gave Trump a pass and normalized his behavior

More???

I’m just going to accept this as a sign from my Lady Eris… I’m sure that she has a grand plan in play.

I’d expect a busy signal at this point.

Sleep tight everyone. Tomorrow I will tell my 3 girls that the country is stronger than a one term presidency. Or something really I don’t know what I will tell them.

That’s the problem, I think. My impression is, Eris doesn’t do plans, or any kind of order as we know it. She’s all about the chaos. She’s certainly going to get a lot of that over the next four years. I’d hope at least some of it will be constructive chaos… if I had any hope left. Which I don’t.

Yes more.

  1. The media, who normalized Trump’s behavior through fake even-handedness while burying Bernie under antisemitic and red-baiting bullshit.

  2. The neoliberals, for telling all of us that actual liberalism and progressive values are too extreme.

  3. Anyone who didn’t see antipathy toward Clinton as a symptom of a very real problem.

  4. Low information voters, because they didn’t care enough.

  5. Anyone getting a decent night’s sleep tonight, because they don’t care enough either.

Yes, the black guy is the shining beacon here. The layers of irony here from the Trump people is just insane.

“Why won’t Hilary concede!”

From the guy who’s candidate said the election was rigged and wouldn’t concede.

The one I can’t get over is the personality circus of Hillary hate over the years. Sure, her politics aren’t mine. But I am dumbfounded by the number of people who I have heard saying “Anybody but Hillary!” Seriously? Her brand business/hawk realpolitik is a known quantity, and the idea that one couldn’t possibly find anybody worse is just mind-numbingly naive.
