I have just watched Trump’s speech. Even if, at this point, Biden wins the presidency, this was another moment that marked the end of America. Maybe the moment.
This election has also made it quite clear that when my American friends said that Trump’s is not the real America, that was nonsense. This is the real America. Even if Biden wins, even if he continues to get a strong popular vote, it doesn’t change the fact that over 65 million Americans went through four years of Trump and said, ‘more, please’.
And the rest of the planet watches, gorge rising, even those who make the imbecilic argument that US presidents are interchangeable – not now, not any more, not when any commitment to maintaining even an unjust order, is gone.
Also, the polar bears are fucked.
Fuck us all.
