20. We are living through an Age of Dystopia.

May 19

It's hideous and our stupid electorate is to blame. We all knew who the candidate was. They wanted this.

Watched 60 Minutes last night speak with billionaire inventor Palmer Luckey of Oculus fame. He spoke of his support for 47 and how the president is where the people are. That was so disheartening to hear. But it does explain how we became a dystopian hellscape.
