Even Darkness Must Pass

The Lizzie Bennet Diaries 5 Year Anniversary - My Name is Lizzie Bennet - Ep: 1 (April 9th 2012)

For 202 years it remained the only instance of a sitting vice-president shooting someone until Dick Cheney broke the streak in 2006 by shooting 78-year-old lawyer Harry Whittington in the face during a quail hunt.

(That shooting was an accident and Whittington recovered, but the lesson remains that it’s never a good idea to piss off the vice-president.)

i want all of the americans watching it and saying “this isn’t going to happen to us” to understand that there are people who voted brexit who are shocked and horrified, who voted because they thought their vote “wouldn’t count” or that brexit “wouldn’t happen.” i want you to understand before you go to the polls in november if you even think about jokingly voting for trump bc “fuck it,” and if you don’t vote because “it doesn’t matter” i will personally be in your nightmares for every single hell-filled day of his presidency. because what we see in brexit is that people who are passionate vote - and unfortunately, enough people were passionately xenophobic.
