I'm so happy about out our new President, but if I'm ever sworn in, I'm going to sing Ozi V'zimrat Yah my own dang self and make Nazi heads explode. Tired of seeing Christianity centered as "our culture," the official American religion. Also, no unity with fascists. Never.

I get the need for the continuity of inaugurations taking place on the steps of Congress. Ritual matters. But @Transition46 owes the people of Washington DC monetary compensation for the logistical and emotional impact of living in a military occupation. Also, statehood.

Somewhere in the multiverse, there's a timeline where Hillary Clinton was sworn in on 1/20/17 and our loved ones are still with us. There's also one where Trump won a second term, and one where the coup attempt succeeded. This is what my brain does at 3am. You're welcome.
