It's been five long years of blogging the Trump years. We've laughed, we've cried, we've pulled some of our remaining hair out, but we've made it. It is almost done and our democracy, nation, and souls are still largely intact. Unfortunately, we're not through.There is much more to come as we stitch ourselves back together like some kind of common Frankenstein monster as we recover from the PTSD that Trump gave us and the needless deaths and suffering from #COVID19. We also have to keep #BidenHarris honest & progressive, oppose Republican obstructionism anti-democratic tendencies, and whatever other black swans await us. All of which will be addressed using good old-fashioned snarcky, sarcasticky, profaney fun and psychological insights.

It’s new years time again. Here at Ye Olde Blogge we don’t have a tradition of looking back over the year that was, but we kinda did this time. Unfortunately, we screwed it up and looked all the way back to 2017 and didn’t stop until we hit 2020. We take a look at some of the posts that best characterize each of those years and trace out our recent national history ending with a bold prediction for 2020.

In a breathe of fresh air, we get polling that lefty voters are voting based on their concerns for the amount of political power vested in old white men and their willingness to control PoC’s and women with it. Read it and rejoice. All may not be lost just yet.

Okay, it’s really long, but it’s a deep dive into deep culture. To borrow a phrase from Ricky Ricardo, there’s a lot of ‘splaining to do.
Do our deep cultural beliefs still support democracy? That’s a sobering and serious question. And, the answer is terrifying.
