A woman ran up to me and screamed WHAT HAPPENED and I screamed THEY CALLED PA FOR BIDEN and she screamed OH THANK GOD and ran in the opposite direction, pulling out her phone. It was like we had won a war. This is a post about when he finally dies. /end

I’ll never forget the day in Nov. 2020 that PA finally got called. I was walking the dog and listening to the news and suddenly everyone on the street stopped, stared at each other, and then broke out into cheers. Cars starting honking their horns. 1/2

Yes this is my schtick but also this is broadly speaking a byproduct of minimal generational turnover: Politics is comparable to music in that your brain gets stuck on the hits/vibes of the era you came of age.
