    I remember them being like “You don’t have to like it, just do it” which is what most of the people I know who voted for Biden did

    Nobody was excited except the ghouls and the turbolibs

    My inconsiderate (for lots of reasons) upstairs neighbor ran barefoot down a November street yelling “IT’S OVER! IT’S OVER! TRUMP IS GONE!”

      And with that election, a mighty cheer rose up from the people of the United States

      They had banished that awful Trump forever, because he was rude

      Now let’s all celebrate with a crisp, cool glass of turnip juice

    No, but what I do remember is a lot of “I know things aren’t going to get better, but we should be allowed to celebrate that things aren’t going to get worse.”

    America, Land of Mediocrity, where spelling doesn’t count, but your pets do.

    It was the happiest day of my life. I remember walking into the polling station with a “FUCK TRUMP” shirt and watching all the conservatives cry. Then I went into the polling booth, and as soon as I voted in Biden I came all over the machine knowing how much I OWNED Trump. Every surface of my house is covered in Joe Biden wallpaper, my children included. I had to pull them out of school because the MAGA teacher had a problem with them only knowing the words in Biden’s speeches, most of which were “meaningless.” I’ll do whatever I can to save democracy. I went to the Capitol building on January 6th to fend off the FASCIST insurrectionists who almost stole the American Dream. But, heh, we know how that went. Four more years of DEMOCRACY and CIVILITY are coming!

      Unrealistic. Libs were shocked and completely surprised by it despite it openly being planned on the internet.

    For you Biden’s election win was the most ecstatic moment of your life.

    For me, it was Wednesday.

    One of the biggest critiques leftists and anti communists have for various socialist governments is that the leader stays in power past anyone’s approval and without training successors, so that leaves room for a power struggle between various factions

    Here we have Biden refusing to let go or even supporting any successor who can speak competently or more popular with voters. And this is under what liberals call a transparent, democratic, free country. Their own party members are silenced because for whatever reason, Biden must win both terms. Biden’s legacy and ego are more important. Tens of millions of democrats, and only Biden meets the criteria to lead a country. Incredible.

    I literally woke up that day to people woo-ing out their windows. I lived in a very lib part of a very lib city. I can understand being happy Trump was defeated, but like lol look who’s replaced him, another ghoul.

    And I still don’t forgive those same hooting rASScals for producing the most annoying sounds every night at … 8? to, uh, honor the healthcare workers with screaming and banging pots and pans, which surely filled their hearts with joy and did NOT upset my roommate’s dog, putting those more musically inclined it*lians to shame for their lackluster songs of beauty and solidarity
