I know a lot of you woke up this morning in shock—staring at the footage out of Los Angeles, asking yourselves: How could this happen? Is this real? Is this really happening in the United States of America?

It’s almost like all those annoying people who tried to warn other Americans that Trump was a dangerous person seeking absolute power were right the whole time. Trump Derangement Syndrome exists, but the symptoms were badly described: I propose that the new definition of TDS should be the delusional belief that the US (and the world) is safe while Trump and his inner circle still live.

Right? Ironically, that IS an emergency.

Yup. Now Trump will blame Musk for anything that went wrong in the last 5 months - including the fallout from musk’s random vandalism of government agencies.

I wonder when Musk will realize that he is probably going to die in a Salvadoran prison.

i love this. do you know the source? it looks like a quote

Yep. They’re such cowards that they won’t act until they fear violence even more for not standing up to Trump. One day, everyone will pretend that they were ALWAYS against Trump.

Don’t forget that to a Trumper, Fox News has more credibility than NYTimes. They’re pretty shit at critical thinking.

Yup. They’ve been setting this up since Reagan. Im old enough to remember Jerry Falwell and the ‘Moral’ Majority - we are living in their plan come to fruition.

my god, it keeps getting harder and harder to caricature Trump supporters

Oh Mr. Trump, i wanted you to hurt OTHER people, not meeeeeeeee

Yep. They wanted SOME families torn apart. Just not their own.

When trump finally caves and has to kiss Xi’s ass, every newspaper headline better fucking be “the art of the deal”

The lowest so far.

Your second amendment was intended for precisely this scenario. Guess all those school shootings were for nothing.

Pretty sure corruption was a literal campaign promise. “Vote for me and I will put my chief donor in charge of ruining your stupid lives” turned out to be a compelling message

yep. trump controls all three braches of government. who is going to do something about it?

Hi! With the OED, it has been like that at least since I started university in 2007. However, lots of public libraries have subscriptions. I just go to my library website, login, and follow the link to the OED. There are many other reference tools that are also included in my library card. Libraries rule!

Edit: you can check merriam-webster for free, I think

Different child field? This is like my first two read-throughs of a new paper in my own specialization!
