I think WW1 was kind of like the comic. It was a bunch of squabbling family members who got into a pissing match and then sent their citizens to die. It never would have happened if Gramma Vicky had still been alive!

I find myself increasingly out of sync with others regarding the weather now.
It will be warm when it isn't supposed to be, and everyone will be talking about how nice it is, and all I see is the approaching end of life as we know it.

Raising my children, I got painfully aware of how "lasts" work.
The last time your baby asks you to pick them up. The last time they ask you to take them trick-or-treating. The last time you read a bedtime story.
The one thing that is common to all the lasts is you never know it was the last time until it's too late. It's always already a memory. At the time it seemed like every other time so you didn't even savor it.
What I'm trying to say is, if they manage to usurp the election this time, then 2024 won't be the last democratic election. The last democratic election would be the previous one.
