Trump Gave Me Freedom

One of the great things about Trump is he’s fully free from my last vestiges of partisanship. That was already fading going into the presidential primary as I no longer had the energy to root for any of the candidates as none of them seemed like they’d get us away from the same old, some old — well, except one who seemed like he learned about conservatism from watching Stephen Colbert. And when the election ended up being Trump versus Hillary, that was it. I was done.

And it’s been nice. Like at the election, I was all prepared for a Hillary win. And when Trump won instead, I was like, “Well, that’s interesting,” but no big change for me. And now when everyone is saying bad things about the president, I’m just like, “Yep, he’s pretty awful.” but also when people are like, “He’s going to destroy the country! We must stop him!” I’m like, “Meh.” I’m free. I don’t need to care either way.

And when someone says, “Republicans are bad!” I just nod and say, “Yep. They’re pretty useless.” But if someone says to me, “But Democrats are good,” I body slam him. So I’m almost free. When someone tries to prop up some mediocrity as something we should be happy about — like some people were recently trying to rally behind Kamala Harris like she wasn’t horrible — that still activates me. If you want to get excited about a politician and think he or she is good, you will have to get through me.

Europe has approved the launch of a deep-space observatory to search for habitable planets in other star systems, along with any life forms they may host.

I just hope the French aren’t involved. I don’t want Earth pre-emptively surrendering to an asteroid full of semi-sentient space slugs.
