That's not much 'rain'

So cute, so neat, so flamable :(

Fuck you, Trump and all the assholes who feel empowered by this person and voted for them. You were warned, we screamed, shouted, begged, and pleaded for you to vote for his opposition. And now we are at the end of our experiment. I'll go down with a giant middle finger raised in defiance.

I dont know about any of you, but my mental health has progressively soured over the last week.
I had been able to put a lot out of my mind the last two months out of sheer perseverance. But the shadow of next weeks impending horror show has darkened my attitude.

Deleted Facebook and Instagram from my phone. Boycotting Meta for at least a week. I will not be using Messenger, WhatsApp, FB, or Instagram.
I set up new groups on Signal to replace WhatsApp and Messenger.
I realize it's a pipe dream to think this will impact Zuck in amyway, but it's not nothing.

This assumes that 1. They care about due process, and 2. Trump will actually leave office on Jan 20 2029.
