For me, it was seeing the Third Precinct of the Minneapolis police department engulfed in flames….

Of course, it was a chud FBI informant who did it… but for that moment, I had some hope.

Then Obama told some NBA players to get back on the court…

    That was such a great weekend. I still think about it from time to time. That's the last time I was really, politically, happy. Trump dying wouldn't have brought socialism but it would have been very funny. I wanted to watch him die and pretend not to be dying but dying. Then his followers pretending not to be owned trying to act like it's all a secret Q operation. Watching the lib media stuck between celebration and trying to be annoyingly respectful. I played the Ghana funeral dancer song on repeat for hours. I loved the memes.

      Yeah it was just political catharsis for like 2 days straight, that can only be matched if like any of the existing US presidents + Kissinger get put into the popular video game Minecraft and thrown into the nether.

      it was dumb, unfruitful, and ultimately pointless but it was just fun. The memes were fun, watching everyone trip over their own contradictions was fun, collectively rooting for the covid disease inside his body was fun.

      maybe the police station burning down is a better example but it was hard to share in the joy of that from so far away personally.
