We all know what a travesty the 2016 United States presidential race has become. It's a trainwreck we're forced to watch as citizens. With the holiday season approaching, it may behoove us to look at the election through a festive perspective.
1. When you watch the news, and read every article pertaining to the candidates, even though you're dead inside.
2. You find ways to justify how America has gotten to this point.
We're just unique. Just not the It's-my-thirteenth-birthday-and-I'm-a-witch kind of unique. More like the my-dad-was-Kalabar-and-now-I-will-separate-everyone-into-groups-based-on-arbitrary-ethnicities-and-classes unique.
3. Does this dark-hearted soul remind you of someone?
Definitely a Donald Trump spirit animal.
4. Secretary Hillary Clinton is cast in a better light when standing next to Donald Trump.
The optimistic liberal consensus regarding Hillary Clinton.
5. This is what she claims to be doing.
She may be narcissistic, and blatantly political, but she can also be pretty damn inspirational.
6. Women, Muslims, and African American everywhere responding to Trump with resounding truths.
You're an attention-seeking, bigoted hot head. You can't just not be.
7. We have grown to be masters of sarcasm and cynicism.
How else are we to deal with all this balderdash?
8. We must mask our fears.
If we don't, it just becomes too real.
9. And combat the(rightful) accusations regarding America's stupidity at times.
We did not do this to ourselves... Ah, to dream.
10. Thus, only one question remains as we approach the presidential election.
Let's get our act together, America.
