RAJI WRITES

To those who sat out this election, thank you. Thank you for your apathy. Thank you for your self-absorption. Thank you for not getting your irresponsible asses out of your couches and into the polling booths. Thank you for the votes (in some cases, still too close to call!) by which this election was lost. Thank you for a Trump presidency. Thank you for the next four years. Thank you for turning back the clock on climate change, inclusion and equality. Thank you, Louis Farra
