I honestly think seeing Trump win killed him. His wife dying probably played a larger role, but I don’t think seeing the country go down the toilet did nothing to him, and the election was the killing blow. The cancer was irrelevant, he already survived that like three times.
that is how you ordinarily behave when you lose an election. in the face of fascism i’d expect different behavior but should they have been able to put everything together the way we did? i want to answer yes but i don’t know what things looked like from inside their heads. for example if i have four or five more days at the stress level i’m carrying right now, i am going to need one hell of a salsa bar to work through some things before i can even think again.
That’s like 4 people.
Five.
Six if Jimmy Carter is somehow still alive. I know he was 4 years ago.
He died in 2024.

People don’t live forever
I still hate how most of the country capitulated the orange menace and raised the flags for his inauguration.
