But it’s kinda nice when we pretend it can get better by voting instead of just “probably worse”. I miss the heady days of “hope and change” lies. Those were tasty, memeable. Buying into those is like buying a lotto ticket and dreaming about what you do if you won. You won’t, but it’s part of the fun.

Now we only get promises that the other side will whip us “way harder”. This fantasy is harder to get behind (pun intended).
