I know we might be up for some scary times in the next four years.

But I want you to remember something very important that's giving me a lot of consolation in this dark time:

Violent J has gone all-in for Harris. We have the FUCKING JUGGALOS on our side.

Now, who do you think will be scarier in the event of a civil war or military coup? An army of armchair FEMA-haters in their LARP camos... or AN ENTIRE NATION OF ANGRY CLOWNS?

Also: I will bet you dollars to donuts that when the dust all settles, whatever tragedies occur in the next decade... we'll come out of this with transgender rights as a core American liberal value. I'm seeing it all over Reddit. The support for trans people -- hell, for *furries* -- is nothing like it was ten years ago. I still see transphobic comments, but they're regularly getting downvoted into oblivion.

(I'm also very reassured that state and local officials are starting to brace for a Trump coup in practical ways, but that's a post for another time.)
