Let’s not blame the Bernie voters or the Stein voters or Hillary’s likeability or Comey or even Putin. The only thing to take out from this shameful spectacle that we’ve been witnessing is that the majority of American voters like the shit that Trump is peddling. It’s tempting to hide from this intolerable realization behind all sorts of what ifs. But it’s time to be strong and face the truth: your neighbors, colleagues, fellow shoppers, etc LIKE. THIS. SHIT.
Day: November 8, 2016
Running Away
Canada’s immigration website just crashed.
Like one can seriously hope to hide from this shit.

Grim Jokes
Finally checked the Ukrainian websites.
“The winner of the American presidential election is Vladimir Putin”, Ukrainians joke grimly.
Stupid People
Some dumbass on TV goes, “We don’t know if Trump will be able to bring the industry back but that’s what he promised.”
The only way not to know if it’s possible to bring 1962 back is to have 80% of your brain amputated.
I’m tired of stupid people.
Anti-globalist
I hoped this would be decided early and I wouldn’t have to listen to idiot commentators say stupid things.
A Republican can’t by definition be an anti – globalist. You can’t simultaneously be for limited national government and against globalism. The only really anti – globalist thing is a crazy strong national government that taxes and regulates with no mercy.
Ready for the Results
So when can we expect the results? We are all ready to celebrate here.
The Anniversary of the Revolution
Yesterday, by the way, was the 99th anniversary of the October Revolution. And I totally forgot to celebrate.
But next year is the centennial and I’ll definitely throw a serious party. My side won back then, so hey, why shouldn’t I celebrate?
Voting Day Observations
Why Zizek Supports Trump
Here is a very good article on why Zizek prefers for Trump to win today.
Zizek is all, “blah blah , revolution, blah blah, power to the people” but the simple reality is that it flatters his sensibilities to see somebody so similar to himself: a boisterous ugly man who enjoys purchasing young, dumb female meat. That’s what this is really about.
Zizek is a great thinker (although not in Bauman’s league), so one can forgive him for these little vanities.
