Today's Tiedrich rant: welcome to these United States of Dumbfuckistan

I’m still trying to process the events of the last 48 hours.

we all saw Kamala’s packed-to-the-rafters rallies. we read about the record amount of money she raised. the early-voting numbers were massive. we felt the excitement. it was electric. and then, on Election Day, fifteen million Democrats decided ‘ehh, voting is too hard, I think I’ll tidy up my sock drawer’? seriously? what the fuck?

how are there states — like North Carolina — where voters elected Democrats all up and down the ballot, and yet went for Donny for president? is it misogynoir? at the end of the day, are Democrats as racist and misogynistic as Republicans? they just couldn’t pull the lever for a Black woman?

or is Kamala Harris merely collateral damage in the global shift towards authoritarian governments? or — is there a more sinister reason? everyone has their own theory and nobody knows shit. I certainly haven’t a clue. but there is one thing I am absolutely certain about: there are a whole lot of people right now who can fuck all the way off.

What follows is Tiedrich's list and it's worth a click. Please read the rest on "Everyone is entitled to my own opinion."

My personal message to Jeff Tiedrich: Thank you for including Pennsylvania in the BLUE America map, but I'm not entirely convinced we belong there. We're perilously close to joining Dumbfuckistan.

1. PA got lucky I guess

But thanks Jeff for pointing out NC , I’ve been waiting for the backlash to begin . I’ve dreaded the focus that was on NC as some sort of ‘democratic savior’ in this election … but hey what do I know…I just live here.
Let’s look at the nifty graphic from my NYT digest email this morning .



OMG NC … how could you ?!?1?

what kind of magical, everybody-gets-a-pony thinking is this? just fucking stop it.

did Ezra Klein and Ross Douthat both experience some kind of recent head trauma that has caused them to forget the years 2017 through 2020? Donny’s first presidency was a dumpster fire of corruption, mismanagement and mass death — but somehow now, given a second chance to fuck shit up worse, Donny’s going to bring us an “American renewal”?

for fuck’s sake, media, stop telling us that Donny’s going to somehow become “presidential.” it never happened in the first four years and it’s not going to happen now.

5. Due credit to New Mexico, and they elected D Senators and Representatives too!

The map that Tiedrich used wasn't made for this election. He explains that in his blog.
