By the way, I know I give a lot of flags on how it is/isn't appropriate to celebrate this moment, and reminders that this isn't over yet, but.
To be clear, I am all for celebrating Trump's apparent loss at the polls.
That is an unequivocal victory.

Not because it's a mandate, or a repudiation, or because it solves everything or redeems our country.
But because Trump is a fucking fascist leading a fucking fascist takeover of this country and it delivered a MASSIVE blow to that project.
Just, massive.

It's not over, he is going to try to marshal as much support as he can.
He is going to try and execute a legal coup, and he is going to incite his massive following to violence.
There is going to be a massive, armed, organized fascist presence in the US for years to come.

Biden is not a savior, and he is not going to deliver salvation.
He's racist, he's patriarchal, his campaign deeply undermined sexual misconduct accountability work with its response to Tara Reade's allegations, he is in the pocket of crony capitalists.
He is not our friend.

Marginalized people can't afford a return to the status quo he would like to bring us back to.
There can be no honeymoon.
At the same time, if we keep fighting, we are on the road to removing a fascist from the US presidency.
That matters deeply.

The war isn't over, but this is a massive battle won.
Trump isn't out yet, and we can't let up.
Not until he's out, and not after he's out, either.
We aren't redeemed or delivered, but there is a lot more hope to be found than there was a week ago.
