Aw, come on, you don't believe that a 79 year old half-demented hair sniffer and a fake socialist totalitarian aren't going to Change The World? Just check out social media, the entire world is celebrating!
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Hair sniffing is one thing. Full conspiracy believer is something else:

Things do change lak, and it matters who gets in. In the 60s our lak might have mocked JFK voters for believing he would change the world. You had cynics saying Kennedy's promises to blacks was for political gain only. Malcolm X in particular -with good reason- didn't think highly of JFK. However, not long after JFK was assassinated Johnson signed several civil rights bills which set the stage for improving black lives.

On the heels of that Nixon kicked off the war on drugs...

Yup, the entire world is celebrating the departure of a right wing psychopath. Nobody is anticipating a new age of Equality and Goodness and Shit. Nobody regards Biden as a socialist. He himself certainly does not, and he said as much. Put your battle flag and guns into storage, break out a box of tissues and get over yourself.

Plus, Biden is a seasoned politician who knows how the game is played. That part isn't going to change, and Mitch McConnell isn't going to change either. What gets done will be the product of the same old sausage making that is how our government does things.

It's worth celebrating Trump's loss. He was a seriously lousy President, which is understandable given his lack of experience and unsuitable temperament. My impulse is to pity the guy, except that he's been such a cunt I can't.

Battleground states counted 98-99% so it will come to 296 Biden

Aw, isn't it cute? Y'all just so happy for us! Gives me the warm-n-fuzzies. We're part of the Big Human Family again! Yay!

No, Sleepy Joe isn't a socialist. He's also not compos mentis, but that's hardly a requirement for public office. Now that he's Prezedunce he can have his vanilla pudding every night, not just on Sundays. Kamala is the wannabe, but she's really a Old Guard neolib authoritarian, but the BernieBros and other callow fools think she's a Fellow Traveler. I'm impressed with them, they've managed to beat the most despised President in history by a whole whopping single percent. What a MANDATE, eh? A veritable Blue Tsunami (well, except for all those down-ticket races but who cares about them?).

I only ever had a Confederate Battle Flag for business reasons, and there's no point in a stored gun.

I can tell you who's definitely not pleased. The Christofascists.

'Bachmann Goes Berserk: "I Ask God" to "Take Your Iron Rod" and "Smash the Delusion That Joe Biden Is Our President"
In the name of Jesus Christ former U.S. Congresswoman Michele Bachmann is calling on God to “smash the delusion, Father, of Joe Biden as our president. He is not.”

Right Wing Watch published the viral video Monday morning featuring the Tea Party Republican from Minnesota. In it, Bachmann also urges God to “smash” the “delusion” that Nancy Pelosi will retain the House of Representatives and “smash” Chuck Schumer becoming Senate Majority Leader.

“I ask, Oh God, that you would take your iron rod and I ask that you would smash the clay jar of deceit in America, smash the clay jar of delusion in the United States of America, smash the delusion, father of Joe Biden as our President. He is not,” Bachmann says.

“Would you take your iron rod and smash the strong delusion that Nancy Pelosi does have her House of Representatives, we don’t know that. Smash it, in Jesus name. Smash Lord the takeover of the Senate, by Chuck Schumer, Lord smash it with your iron rod. I asked Oh God, that you would take your iron rod. And I asked that you would smash the claim of just.”
