Ding Dong
I touched on this last entry; I feel we need to celebrate some victories over evil.
Georgia (Georgia!) flipped the Senate blue. Pumpkin showed his true fascist colors. Joe Biden was indeed inaugurated. A bunch of trolls on reddit exposed what a steaming pile the whole stock market is. And... Rush Limbaugh died.
If you don't think it's seemly to celebrate a death, no matter whose, you don't get the gestalt of Rush. Rush has been cheerleading for every apex of evil that has crept into the American psyche in the past thirty-some years. Making "liberal" a dirty word? Check. Making intellect something detestable? Check. Coining "feminazi"? Check. And on, and on. The removal of this wellspring of toxicity from our national discourse might be the single best thing that has happened this year yet.
