In early 2016 I was out with some colleagues and one of them said, “We elected Reagan twice, Trump could win.” I chuckled and said “OK, boomer” to myself.
Welp...
As my friend, Neil, recently wrote, everything we thought could happen under a Trump administration has. And then some.
So this year I’ve knocked wood. I’ve thrown the salt over my shoulder anytime someone has said “he can’t win, right?”. I’ve gone outside, turned around three times, and spat and cursed every time I’ve slipped up. I’ve even hoped for a bird to poop on my shoulder (it’s a good omen, look it up). And I work for an
