BDS-2020: Biden Derangement Syndrome Pandemic Preparedness Guidelines

This is the next wave of the pandemic. I expect it to me the I expect it to infect around 70 million whiny little bitches across the country.

Be prepared folks!

1) Wear your masks

2) remain socially distant. The stupid can spread and it’s resilient.

3) put on your aviators

4) reinforce your signs

5) have your middle fingers ready for lift off

Follow these guidelines and this will help to flatten the curve.

When Michelle Obama became First Lady, Laura Bush extended a courtesy

that Michelle Obama could reach out to Laura Bush if she needed advise or help for being the First Lady.

Michelle Obama extended that same courtesy to Melania Trump.

Someone has to be the adult in that semi-co parenting relationship. If Donald’s is gonna be a baby, Melania should extend the courtesy and be gracious... not that Jill Biden needs it.

What scares me that Trump could have been re-elected had he not been such a massive dick

On Election night, I didn’t want to go to bed. I wanted to be ready and prepared in the event that Trump won a 2nd term. I had a sort of PTSD from 2016. I went to bed in 2016 only to wake up at 3am to the CNN chyron “CLINTON CONCEDES TO TRUMP.”

That chyron haunted me all the way to the day after Election Day as I went to bed truthfully scared and anxious that I will wake up to another CNN chyron announcing Trump had been re-election. I didn’t sleep that well and I was shaking in anxiety thinking about waking up to “BIDEN CONCEDES TO TRUMP.”

This election was a squeaker. Despite running a shit show for the last 4 years, this man was almost re-elected. Their turnout game was good. They gave us a legitimate run for our money. They brought a red wave of support, although our wave was a little bigger (mic drop).

It boggles me that had Donald Trump been less of a massive dick, he may have won. It terrifies me that people in real positions of power will model their behavior after him -current and future governors, senators, congresspersons, states legislators, etc-. People will look at that and say even if for a little while, you can be a whiny vindictive bitch and win power.
