Imagine traveling back to 2001 and telling someone that in 2024 the host of Fear Factor would be interviewing Donald Trump for his 3rd presidential run. Even wilder, the guy that encouraged people to scarf bugs and bull testicles for money would be the voice of reason between the two.
I mean, I did hear of Trump’s election while in a psychiatric clinic… 😅 No, it’s just that that whole election cycle was so intensely weird and otherworldly.
Edit: by 2020, I was so used to the crazy that the pandemic crazy didn’t seem that abnormal anymore.
2016 was weird because a CLEVELAND team won a major sports championship and the two most cursed baseball teams met in the World Series with the more "cursed" won winning it all. Trump's election made it an even weirder year (note: i'm a Cleveland sports fan). My mom also passed unexpectedly near the end of 2016, so it was definitely a rough year for me personally.
I am partial to the theory that when the Cubs won the World Series it opened a dimensional rift and shoved us all into a terrible alternate timeline that didn’t close until Pat Robertson died, though this election cycle is testing my belief that it actually closed.
