“WE MADE IT!”
#InaugurationDay Goal:
Get blocked by the entirety of #R#E#S#I#S#T# Twitter for displays of realism instead of prematurely triumphant delusions.

So Trump’s planning on starting the “Patriot Party,” eh?
I’m sure that’s not an open call to the militia types that ever could possibly be misinterpreted and exacerbate a lot of problems that are definitely over once Biden’s in power.
But good jokes, though.

Dear Everyone I Have Offended Already,
Allow me to clarify: #R#E#S#I#S#T# Twitter isn’t “the left.”
I use that for the hyper vocal crowd who sees Trump as the ultimate cause of our problems. That’s really dangerous.

Don’t mind me. I’m just cranky cause I was up super late finishing an article on the pervasive threat of white supremacist infiltration across the military and law enforcement over the last 5+ decades + total leadership inaction which is actually horrifying so um yes I’m cranky.

Celebrating is good. Happiness is great. But I’m afraid of complacency.
I’ve spent well over a decade trying to prevent us from getting where we currently are, and complacency is one reason we did.

Temper that premature triumphalism is my point, people.
DHS caved to political pressure and closed the office responsible for monitoring white supremacist threats under Obama, after all.
Our serious problems demand bipartisan critique, detached from presidential personality.

Our issues are so deeply rooted, bipartisan, and systemic that “we need untempered celebration now” almost reminds me of the relief felt by an abuse victim when the abuser apologizes with flowers and promises to change.
It’s a survival strategy, yes, but it’s also a trap.

PS: if you’re upset over what I said because you desperately want to enjoy a fleeting moment of normalcy, I do too.
Tweeting that stuff is also a reminder to myself.
