Getting a bunch of "Say publicly now that BJP won Uttar Pradesh" messages.

Kyun Bhai, Ghar pe paper nahin aata Kya? 😂😂

Sanghi folks, this is not world test championship where I was like, respect, new zealand, you deserved the win.

Cos elections aren't sports contests. And I'm not a politician to have to be graceful in defeat.

I can say and will say, you didn't deserve this win.

Now if you want to flood my mentions or QT my old tweets with gloating about the Uttar Pradesh results, go for it. You have my blessings.

My mentions are extremely sanitized anyway. And as I demonstrated with those tweets, it just helps broaden my reach.

And 2024 is coming.

Our side had a bad election cycle for sure.

But again, remember, these are elections and not sports contests.

We are all endogenous variables not exogenous variables, when it comes to elections.

I'm thinking about the next ones. You should too. That's democracy 101.

Look up my tweets from November 8-9 2016. How absolutely devastated I was at Trump's win. Very much meltdown level situation it was then.

4 years later I was dancing around the streets of Manhattan celebrating his defeat.

That's what I'm looking at. The future.

India, you know me. We're no strangers to love. You know the rules and so do I. A full commitment's what I'm thinking of. You wouldn't get this from any other guy. I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand.

We've known each other for so long. Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it. Inside we both know what's been going on. We know the game and we're gonna play it. And if you ask me how I'm feeling. Don't tell me you're too blind to see.

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

When sanghis troll I rickroll 😎

As the philosopher Pharrell Lanscilo Williams once said, can't nothing bring me down, can't nothing, can't nothing bring me down, can't nothing, can't nothing bring me down, can't nothing.

You see where I'm going with this thread? 😂

Just because BJP won today doesn't make them Tom Brady or Steve Waugh Australia or Manchester whatever.

We are all endogenous to this system.

Don't celebrate this. Keep telling them, they didn't deserve to win.

Because they didn't.

No one deserves to win elections on bigotry

Fascists want us to treat elections like sports contests and want us to treat them like Tom Brady or Don Bradman.

They are barely holding on to power, I say. And you should also say.

Don't do fascists' job for them by saying how popular fascism is. It makes fascism more popular

Sanghis, remember the immortal words of Majrooh Sultanpuri,

Ik din bik jaayega
Maati ke mol
Jag mein reh jaayenge
Pyaare tere bol

One day you'll be sold off like dust and all that will remain of you is your words.

Are you happy with the words you leave behind?
