America chose this. I hope they're entertained when all our streaming is like 1950s "clean" TV

Quick, while no one is looking, this is the best time in history to get away with anything!! No real criminal will be punished or persecuted during the next 4 years because Captain Clementine’s feelings got hurt and they’re busy putting together a new blacklist and setting up interment camps. The fuck your feelings snowflakes are so butt hurt about some criticism next they’re going to outlaw sarcasm. What a great and beautiful free nation we live in, no chance of having state controlled media here!! I’m sure we’ll all hear Rogan fanning these flames as well and supporting them all because it’s a good thing that this will be happening. Fly your flags high patriots!!

Remember how kindly history views McCarthyism? It’s gonna be like that, but with more absolutely brainless people cheering it on in the short term.
