'I Love the Smell of MAGA Tears in the Morning' [View all]

"Holy shit, last night...The pundits can call it politics...They’re wrong...It was resurrection with teeth."

"A historic, motherfucking tsunami that tore across the map and peeled the gold foil off Mar-a-Lago like a cheap advent calendar chocolate coin. Democracy didn’t knock. She kicked the door off its hinges, boots muddy, hair wild, eyeliner smeared, and said, 'Miss me, bitches?' "

"You could feel it before the numbers even hit the screen. Group chats were exploding. Phones glowing like lighthouses through the fog. People crying without realizing they were crying. The sound wasn’t cheering. It was exhaling. It was the sound of a country remembering how to breathe. For the first time in a year, the air didn’t taste like fear. It tasted like finally."

"Last night wasn’t just a blue wave...It was a rebirth through fucking fire. A scream that found its voice again and refused to shut the hell up. It was fury turned into motion, heartbreak weaponized into purpose, exhaustion baptized into something unbreakable. It was democracy waking up hungover, bloodied, eyeliner-smudged, and saying, “Not today, Satan. Not fucking today.”

"Mikie Sherrill said it best: 'Hope has two beautiful daughters — anger and courage'...And last night, those girls showed up in leather jackets, one packing brass knuckles, the other swinging a battle-axe. Anger because we’ve had enough. Courage because we’re not backing down. Hope didn’t just come back. She barged in, cleaned the damn cat litter, and told us to pack our shit because we’re leaving this place better than we found it."
