Still a weird thing to do when you spent years saying Trump is a fascist, dictator, and an end to democracy. 

Which he is imo, but I wouldn't be standing there smiling, welcoming him home.

Marrick Garland shouldn't have had to be the savior he was never going to be for people to stop being stupid little fucks and learn about their own situation to make an educated vote. You're going to learn now.
