“As the campaign draws to a close, Trump and Biden are pushing opposing pandemic strategies. Biden is pushing viral containment, while Trump is pushing your grandma into traffic. At one of his several in-person rallies this week, Trump dismissed media attention on the pandemic and longed for ‘normal days, like we had seven months ago’. Yeah, I miss those pre-pandemic days of waking up to find out what country Trump had blackmailed, which porn star he had paid off, and which hurricane he was threatening to nuke. You know, normal.” —Stephen Colbert
“Snap out of it, Colbert. Don’t believe the polls. You promised yourself after the last election that you would not ‘Pokemon Go’ down that road again.” —Stephen Colbert
“Experts say that we need hope for the future to help ward off this anxiety. However, some Americans say they’re too afraid to hope. This is likely a protective mechanism in response to the 2016 election. It feels like we’re all Charlie Brown going to kick the football, but we know at the last second Lucy’s gonna give us coronavirus.” —Stephen Colbert
“Strangely, Trump’s blatant disregard for human life seems to be hurting him with the key demographic of humans. The latest ABC News/Washington Post/P.F. Chang’s Great Wall of Chocolate poll shows that Biden is leading Trump by 17 points in Wisconsin. Seventeen? Trump doesn’t know whether to be worried about that lead or to start dating it.” —Stephen Colbert

“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic.
A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night On Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
