Finally ! Some good news. And about time too. 2020 has been horrible to all of us. But now, just around the tail end of this horrendous, monstrous year, there is something to celebrate. On the other side of this definitely-round earth, the Fragmented States of America have elected the lesser evil of their white candidates. Something they should have done four years ago !
Congratulations !!
Better late than never. And with this, the longest running reality show on the planet comes to its end...right ?
Oh...Wumpy Lumpy has announced that he is not going to give up his presidency.
So the show goes on, a bit more, and hopefully everything will end in Jan next year. About 12 whole months after the world first woke up the Coronavirus. America will have plenty to catching up to do.
But this event is something definitely worth celebrating. Even if you are not in America. It shows how a imperfect system of electoral colleges can still work, if people put their minds to it. Instead of sitting back and complaining about how the system is rigged against them, people can get out there and play the game by its rules. Democracy takes time, and is imperfect, but still works.
But it is also a stark reminder that the country is more divided than it ever was. More people voted for Wumpy Lumpy than in 2016 ! Are you kidding me ? After everything that the nation has been through, after all those blatant lies and cover ups, there are still people willing to trust him with another 4 years ? Unbelievable. It is clear that those votes were for the institution and party behind him, and not explicitly for him. They might have lost, but they got their message out; there will always be racists and white supremacists in the leader of the free world. It is something they have to live with.
But the flip side is also true. All that needs for bad things to happen , is good people to do nothing. Here is hoping that the country has learnt this lesson, and that we will never have to see another president like Trump.
