don't 1984 my 2020
When somebody writes about the year 2020 (and they will, believe me) they will invariably include the embarrassment that was Donald Trump, and all that he did (or did not) do as president of the United States of America. The man was an epic failure, and I for one think that fact needs to jotted down on paper, reproduced, and distributed cheaply to the masses. I will be the first in line to buy a physical copy of the tome. In fact, I will probably acquire more than one. It will be nice to always have it around as a reference, to perhaps jog or refresh my memory of just how seriously messed up 2020 was, but more importantly, it will stand as my version of a history book of that year. I want at least two copies in my possession just in case somewhere down the line someone worse than Trump, or allied with him, decides to have all versions of the book (including digital copies) banned, burned or otherwise destroyed. We already live in a version of the novel “1984” by George Orwell and I don’t see things getting better any time soon.

I fully believe there are thousands of people who wish they could erase 2020 from our collective memory. Some are people of power and importance while others are just average folks who seemingly went a little crazy for a full 12 / twelve months. A few of those nuts are still feeling the effects, but it is my hope that common sense and decency will soon begin to prevail in the U.S. and we will have a much better 2021. The year we just went through was historically fucked up in so many ways, and will almost certainly be fodder for many books and movies to come, which I believe is a good thing. The debacle that was 2020 needs to stick in our memories for a while, lest we continue to take the 1 / one step forward, 2 / two steps back that we, as a nation, have been taking. I don’t want to forget how bad things were, because we don’t learn from the mistakes we do everything in our power not to remember. It was a year unlike any other, and I not only want to be able to say I survived the crazy shit, but have proof. So somebody get to typing because I am ready to place my order for at least 2 / two copies of “2020: the joke that wasn’t funny”.
