NEW COMIC TWO OR THREE TIMES A WEEK, OR WHEN THE MOOD STRIKES

As the New York Times blared, DEMOCRATS ROUT G.O.P. Party Flips Senate and House as Voters Deliver Stunning Rebuke to Trump. Rebuke, yes. I also hear the word repudiation. That's the word I used when Hillary was running back in 2016: "I can't wait until the country repudiates those right-wing assholes." Ha ha, I can laugh now at my naivete. Then Dems had that "blue wave" in 2018, gaining control of the House. And I thought, okay, now we're getting somewhere. And 2020 came and again, I needed us to repudiate Trumpism. And we did! We gained full control of the government! And then...well, we did have the Jan. 6 Committee hearings, which revealed an unbelievable amount of evidence of stunning lawbreaking and immorality in the Trump regime...and then nothing happened. Until we hit 2024, when once again we were given the opportunity to repudiate Trump, the right-wing, and fascism in general, now with even more proof. And...we didn't.

The results of that failure have led to literally millions of deaths around the world, multiple wars and genocides, destruction of the East Wing, the Reflecting Pool, and the Kennedy Center, untold environmental damage -- both direct as at Big Bend and indirect as a result of all the shuttered green energy projects and reopened fossil fuel operatons -- and irreparable harm to relationships with allies. The absolute scale of this failure probably dwarfs anything since Mao's Cultural Revolution.

So forgive me for being angry when Obama and Jeffries come out preaching unity again. Fuck all of that.
