So many netizens tonight seem to be indulging in the kind of hopeful flights of fancy typically reserved for kids on Xmas Eve. It’s all silly, of course. But seeing the joy it brings warms the heart. We haven’t lost the capacity to dream.

  1. A few songs to help with the wishful thinking: When you wish upon a star Don't stop believing To dream the impossible dream

  2. And if anyone tries to tell you that Santa Claus isn't real, tell them that's besides the point. Santa is important as many people's introduction to live action roleplay. He teaches us that we can make the world so much better and more magical than it already is. So don't stop dreaming.

  3. It probably didn’t happen, but when it does, my second favorite part will be Jake Tapper and the rest of our media pretending we’re all upset and in mourning when 60% of us won’t give a shit and 40% of us will be deliriously happy.

    But it will be mandatory mourning from our media.

  4. It’s going to happen and nearly all of us will still be alive when it does, dreaming about a future happy event makes it easier to survive in the meantime

  5. Caught myself fantasizing this afternoon of hearing the breaking news announcement of Trump's demise and rehearsing my joyful dance in the front seat of my car.

  6. The thing is, this isn't an "if" scenario. Oh, it is for THIS moment, sure, and probably unlikely. But it's not like "he's going to prison" or ___ is coming to save us.

    This is HAPPENING, bruv. As to us all; but him?

    Sooner than many.

    I have champagne, and I have tap shoes.

    And I have time.

  7. …and be humorously creative. I’ve been giggling out loud at several of the posts. So damn funny! A “Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead” Bluesky Cyber-Party! 🥳 Even if it’s not real…it sure has been uplifting…at least for a few wonderful hours.

  9. Wishing for a fresh start, like flipping a calendar to a blank page, filled with possibilities for better days ahead.

  10. There will be joy around the world, tho it may be short lived with the malevolence that would remain. We can but hope with future joy positive change follows.

  11. If he dies now, the tragedy is not his death… it’s that while he was alive, not enough good people could stop him.

  12. Yeah, but I don’t know if I can handle the disappointment that will come when he either outlives us all, or our dreams come true, only to make us realize that the dream is really an even-worse nightmare. It’s not like the alternative is any better.

  13. The beautiful thing is...it WILL happen, probably soon...it renewed my feelings of hope! I've been really upbeat since this morning for the first time this year!!!

  14. Are you talking about the zombie walk by two burly agents to the car? And the the release of the weeks old golf shots? 86+47=25. Cowards, one and all.

  15. Wait you guys we know it means we would have to deal with Vance (but he sucks and no one likes him) but do we think he'd oust Stephen Miller and replace him with someone else!?

    So we'd ALSO be rid of that asshole too!?🍾

  16. It does seem like some trending sense of hope, no? Like I should have picked up at least a bottle of prosecco for tomorrow 😆 a little practice run maybe

  17. Good word - “netizens.” I had to look it up so I learned something today 🤔

  18. It’s like dreaming about winning the lottery. But as the soon to be gone Joni Ernst pointed out so sagely “Everyone dies.” So Odds are much better getting a dead Cheeto than winning lottery. Anytime this week good for me.

  19. Whoa, I have been off Bluesky pretty much all day, so I had to dig a little deeper to understand what you are referring to. Now that I do, oh my goodness, hopeful flights of fancy, indeed.
