the day Trump 2.0 was inaugurated, marked the point when America could no longer consider itself a first world country.

It will be a day marked on calendars for ever more, as the day of ultimate infamy.
It will be commemorated yearly with sackcloth and ashes, dirge music on all TV and radio stations, with gangs of people engaged in self-flagellation roaming the streets.
Coffins will be paraded on the streets. The words 'Democracy' painted on their sides.

Crowds will gather at the gates of the White House intending to throw rotten eggs and tomatoes but alas, the shops were bare.

Calendars will be printed with a thick black border around that date, and people will lament 'Oh why, why did we let this happen?'

Much was lost that day. More than anyone could have imagined.
