Smith Dynasty, Castor, 16th Day of Hagwinter, 524 M.E.


Did you vote yet? If not, who ya votin' for? If you're undecided, may I suggest Kamala Harris? If you're leaning toward Trump, may I suggest Kamala Harris instead? Whatever the case, I suggest you vote for Harris. 

No one knows what's going to happen tomorrow. No one knows who'll win the popular vote or who'll win the Electoral College. No one knows if every state will go along with the will of the people and certify the vote, or if they'll try to install fake electors if they don't like the results. No one knows just what type of litigation may result from the election, or how the courts will decide. No one knows shit.

I do know this: if Agent Orange, the human Cheeto, the Great Pumpkin himself, does win, we're in for a very long and very sad chapter in American and world history. The rise of national and international authoritarianism, civil unrest, mass deportations, and monetary chaos. Totalitarianism and fascism. A time of wars and rumors of wars. Accelerated climate change and collapse of entire ecosystems. Disease, pandemics, plague and pestilence. 

I'm not being hyperbolic here. I really, honestly do believe this. The only solace I can find is that I'm old and won't be around for the worst of it. But the rest of y'all will have brought this down on yourselves. If you vote for Trump, shame on you. 

Shame.
