Life before President Trump was a renaissance of hope, expanding civil rights, and celebrity deaths. This episode of the podcast is the last recording we have before Trump’s historic victory. Take a listen to this time capsule and remember the simple times before the world changed forever.Before President Trump We Had HopeLove him or hate him, Trump was always a joke. The man had never held a public office or served in the military, then applied for the highest position in government. Imagine if you dropped out of high school, exclusively applied for jobs on Ladders, and Sergey Brin just hands you Google. Even if people routed for your success, they deep down knew that this idea was crazy. But like a classic buddy cop movie, an idea so crazy it just might work.And that’s why 2016 before November 8th filled our hearts with hope. Liberals chuckled at the delusions of a reality star making a bid for the throne. All the while his fiscally conservative, but socially indifferent, disciples filled their hearts with hope as their Lord Trump marched forward.Now the days are filled with gloom and doom. Minorities and their allies are petrified for the safety of the disenfranchised, while Trump voters keep shouting about how they’re the ones being attacked. Any way you slice it, America seems hopeless.How About Them Rights Though?Not all the progress happened in 2016, but under Barrack Hussein Obama people got free. Marriage equality is the highlight of this time in America, but the buck didn’t stop there. Feeling the freedom fever, politicians decided to treat themselves with Citizens United.But a President-Elect Trump signals one clear message: white people believe freedom is a zero-sum game. Correction: crappy white people who voted for Trump believe freedom is a zero-sum game. As Senior Correspondent on The Daily Show Hasan Mihnaj has said, “Hey man. I don’t hate you. I just don’t care about you.”Everyone Can Agree: Dead Celebrities Are SadMany celebrities died in 2016, creating a distinct dark cloud over an otherwise bright and happy year. Pretty much any time there is a presidential election, America is just the best. It brings out thought-provoking, but ultimately false, political memes. And those comment sections! No longer do you need to watch the chat on Twitch to lose faith in humanity.
