19. Seriously, like 6 weeks ago, I was at the point where I wanted nothing to do with the election.

Like I'd rather chew glass than watch 5 minutes of fucking Trump barf his brain while Fox News fawns over him like he's the supreme ruler of the world.

Now I'm loving watching Kamala kick ass and take names, while Trump nominates the weirdest and most awkward guy in the United States, surrounds himself with neo Nazis and ass kissers, and his campaign is crashing and burning.

Pass the popcorn. It's going to be fun watching MAGA and Fox self destruct.
