America, Let’s Be Thankful
2020 might suck, but we still have a lot to be thankful for this year.
The year our Lord, Twenty-Twenty will go down into the historical annals as one of the wackiest, craziest, saddest, loneliest, depressing, aggravating, paranoia-filled years of all time. Quite frankly, this might be the rapture we have all been waiting for. Our culture has become filled with so many crybabies whom will do anything to get their way. The tops on that list are the leftist Liberal cancel culture, and Donald J. Trump.
The Leftist-Kids have already tried to put a ban on anyone from the Trump Dynasty from giving lectures or taking on any adjunct professor roles. It was one thing with Chelsea Manning, because she lacks any political experience or higher education. Donny J is trying to do anything to keep the year from ending. He is the type who feeds off of misery and turmoil, so 2020 ending for him is bad. The best way he knows how to keep it going is to make sure the election never ends.
But, hey, there are things to be thankful for even on both sides of the political fence. So, without further adieu, here is my list of things we can all be thankful for in 2020.
№1: The wall we feared from Trump never got built.
№2: The fashion industry got a boost by masks. Everything has to match, right?
№3: People got to work from home a lot more, so you saved on gas and other commuting costs.
№4: Families got to spend a lot more time with their children.
№5: No matter what was shut down, liquor stores were always deemed essential.
№6: Even health-nuts can be thankful for fast food drive-thru’s.
№7: Crazy and bored parents found outlets by using TikTok.
№8: The Chinese have not invaded us yet with all of their TikTok data.
№9: Professional athletes no longer had to listen to hecklers hassle them during games.
№10: Quarterbacks could actually hear themselves during away games. Death to the silent count?
№11: Trump again entertained us and gave everyone something colorful and joyful to always chatter about while we were stuck at home.
№12: After even more massive amounts of wildfires and mudslides, California has still not sank into the ocean.
№13: Scared of offending people with bad breath? Not a fan of close talkers? The coronavirus gave us all a legit reason to tell people to back on up.
№14: For awhile traffic wasn’t so bad when everything was shut down.
№15: Thank the Lord for food delivery! Groceries, dinner, booze, medication, you can get anything you want!
№16: When the craze died down, lines in grocery stores and big box stores were very short.
№17: Worries of a cheating spouse diminished since they were home all the time.
№18: If you are reading this you can be thankful you are still alive.
№19: A lot of companies and individuals learned new skills for making hand sanitizer, masks, and making Zoom calls.
№20: You learned how to change your Zoom backgrounds!
№21: When we thought they were gone for good, toilet paper and hand soap eventually came back to our store shelves.
№22: Drive-in theatres and entertainment have made a comeback!
№23: More people have learned about homesteading, or at least ways to be more self-sufficient. Its good to sometimes do things yourself, like Rudy Giuliana dying his own hair.
№24: AC/DC made amends with Brian Johnson and brought us another new and great album.
№25: Everyone and their mother started a blog and/or a podcast. ME!!!!! I did!
№26: Ruth Bader Ginsburg is still…oh crap. Jimmy Carter is still with us.
№27: Joe Biden showed us that you can hold successful political rallies by yourself.
№28: You don’t have to spend hours and hours preparing a meal for 100 of your most-hated relatives. Maybe this Thanksgiving I can finally achieve my dream to keep it simple with a turkey sandwich, turkey burgers, turkey bacon, a turkey and gravy smoothie, and a side of instant mashed potatoes.
№29: You realized the best thing you could do in 2020 was to follow me on Medium, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and Patreon.
№30: Because of social distancing, you can avoid buying everyone Christmas gifts because you can say you are too scared to go to the post office to mail anything.
№31: I don’t believe the murder bees ever launched their full scale attack on us.
№32: COVID-19 hasn’t aged yet to COVID-20, and is still not old enough to drink.
№33: We became better protected.
№34: Men and women could try out new fashion trends with their hair since no one saw them. Unshaved armpits? Check! Let that leg hair grow? Check! Man Buns? Check! Shave shapes in chest hair? Check! Let that beard grow as long as possible? Check! Cut your own hair??? Check!
№35: You became OK with finding new ways to kill time and entertain yourself.
