But does it feel as bad as his win did in 2016?
I say no. I think we knew, deep down, this was going to happen. Our societies are not doing well and the time for centrist politics is long past.
Gord help me the Bernie Bros were right. No, Bernie wouldn't have won, either, but he would've at least taken the fight to where it needed to be fought.
Opportunity lost but lesson hopefully learned.
Go Left, go Left, go Left.
I didn't watch any of the coverage last night because I'd seen enough on CBC Ottawa local evening news, with reporters on assignment interviewing Americans living in border towns, to realize my hope that surely Americans wouldn't be reckless enough to re-elect Donald Trump was just more wishful thinking.
Did I always know he'd be back? Back? He never went away. So tell me, please - whatever was the point of Merrick Garland? What about Joe Biden? President for 4 years and didn't alter the Supreme Court one iota to protect women from its rapist judges Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas, whose wife Ginni is a January 6th insurrectionist, ffs.
And will Joe Biden continue to stand by genocidal war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu now he's lost the White House to him?
Will Kamala Harris?
Robert Mueller, Jack Smith, the list of supposed saviours of democracy goes on and on.
Was it all just smoke and mirrors?
It's sad. I'm sad. And I'm more than a little scared.
Because in spite of what normal politicians will say, part of their job being to calm the waters, this is not good, not good at all.
