@iloveminigolf When I lie down I say, ‘When shall I rise?’
But the night is long,
and I am full of tossing until dawn.

There are lights in the dark.
But it they will have to be shepherded until the sun again rises.

@kpbismarck @Hanasaku_Yuri I'm guessing Griswold.

[Wandering Hoo @LibWanderer]

@kpbismarck @Hanasaku_Yuri 1896 is also the year Plessy was decided.

@fakegreekgrill Democracy is the people getting what they want.

Good and hard.

[Wandering Hoo @LibWanderer]

@un_a_valeable Not to say too much.

But there are some Ukrainians scheduled to visit my workplace before January.

It's going to be an awkward visit.

[Wandering Hoo @LibWanderer]

@DetonatorAudio @Ian_Gay_briel Yes, because a 10% tariff wouldn't be about as popular as syphilis.

[Wandering Hoo @LibWanderer]

@lyndonbajohnson I think '72 is the better marker.

But the point remains the same.

[Wandering Hoo @LibWanderer]

@MMiraculorum Good luck.

It's a long road out of the wilderness.

[Wandering Hoo @LibWanderer]

We got McGovern'd.

The question now is how much can we preserve, and how quickly can we find a leader to drag us out of the pit.

[Wandering Hoo @LibWanderer]

@bollocksbegone @worsematt What the hell are you on?

They voted for Donald motherfucking Trump.

Notably, not a progressive.
And turnout was stupendously high.

[Wandering Hoo @LibWanderer]

@vituperativeerb Du Bois and Wells got through 1896.

[Tim Miller @Timodc]

My main thought:

We're probably going back, but we can't go anywhere.
Our era will be about protecting their attempts to dismantle the progress that was made in the last century or so. It's a more sober mission than pushing for progress but it is an important one. ☮️

@Exiled_Athena We also elected the first openly trans House Rep tonight.

There are lights in the dusk.

Time will tell if they have to endure the night or merely welcome the dawn.

[Wandering Hoo @LibWanderer]

For all that tonight was, we also elected the first openly trans House Rep tonight.

There are lights in the dusk.

(I also love how we asterisk it with *openly*, as if estrogen would've saved Henry Clay)

[Wandering Hoo @LibWanderer]

@GambelerQuail It happens.

[Wandering Hoo @LibWanderer]

@nominalthoughts I mean, you can choose not to pass moral judgment.

But that's a different thing.

[Wandering Hoo @LibWanderer]

@MMiraculorum New Hampshire, continuing to be a total shithole.

[Wandering Hoo @LibWanderer]

@nominalthoughts Sure.

But that doesn't make them suck less.

Arguably, it makes them worse.

It being electoral reality doesn't change that.

[Wandering Hoo @LibWanderer]

@MMiraculorum It turns out that low-propensity voters are basically evil apparently.
