#MisfitMemo - Weekly Rewind: Armageddon Edition

Rebecca de Winter

Welcome to the third edition of the Misfit Weekly Rewind – where we collect some of our favorite tweets and posts of the week to share with you. This past week was uh, something else. An unprecedented whirlwind of dread, drama, discord, and for some, DOOM.

Make sure to scroll down to see our posts from this past week, they are some of our best yet, and we were honored to have two guest contributors – @RaymondWPS and @MartiniShark.

The fun started well before election day, when @cdpayne79 noted that a cartoonist predicted this campaign decades ago (no, not Scott Adams).

@molratty @SohlerSarah and don't forget that Gary Larson predicted 2016: pic.twitter.com/o9eO8h0SWM

​Then there was the terrifying moment when Trump was nearly “assassinated” by a….cardboard sign. Yeah, that happened.

Trump Supporters react to a sign like Democrats had hoped ISIS would have reacted to hashtags.

It's time to have a national conversation about sign violence. pic.twitter.com/kZ4LMxg3xN

Shot down, captured, tortured for years in a POW camp = loser

Survived a politely dissenting sign = the new George Washington

​After nearly a year and a half of national psychosis and angst, Election Day was upon us. Breathless rumors of voter fraud were circulating social media, so we thought we’d have some fun with it. Some took these seriously and forwarded them to the @FBI, which made it all the more hilarious.

​We Misfits had generally assumed/expected a Hillary win, so when Trump started pulling ahead, we were flabbergasted, but nevertheless comically entertained.

Dems tonight: "WHY DON'T THOSE STUPID HILLBILLY RACISTS LOVE US?"

​Sally Kohn was having a hard time. We didn’t have much sympathy, though.

TBF, they didn't want to spend that much time covering all of her corruption and lies. https://t.co/w3RPGSVW98

LOLOLOL YOU MADE THIS. https://t.co/Ca4Y24SGjh

Too bad you stood by and let her fix your primaries, eh? https://t.co/ZWOA3UTGCL

We might have indulged in a bit of schadenfreude. Just a wee bit.

Clinton doubling down on Obama policies prob a mistake.

— Dan (@danieltobin) November 9, 2016

Liberal shaming outreach fails in rural America.

— Dan (@danieltobin) November 9, 2016

.@HillaryClinton hey girl you busy tomorrow?

— CDP (@cdpayne79) November 9, 2016

Democrats could have tried not hating on America for eight years.

— Dan (@danieltobin) November 9, 2016

After the election, the nation was in a state of shock. But Misfits don’t take things too seriously, so...

We can now look forward to 'think pieces' on how we're all knuckle-dragging growers of strange fruit out here beyond the coastal enclaves.

I'm sure he's gloating mightily, but let's not forget that @mitchellvii is short $100k b/c he was too chicken shit to bet on his conviction

— Alexandra F. Baldwin (@VerumVulnero1) November 9, 2016

So I guess some people DO like a turd sandwich better than a giant douche. #ElectionNight #SouthPark

Celebrities: I'm moving to Canada.

Canada: Only the hot ones. And Lena Dunham is right out. Sorry.

If Donald Trump could outlaw mobile ad scripts that take you to the App Store, I would call him the greatest President of this century.

— Andrew Lynch (@GentlemanRascal) November 10, 2016

TBH, I was looking forward to taco trucks on every corner.

​We had some superb suggestions for Trump’s cabinet picks.

Chuck Norris for Secretary of Defense. #TrumpCabinetPicks

— J.R. Holmsted (@JHolmsted) November 9, 2016

Tila Tequila, Secretary of Education #TrumpCabinetPicks

#TrumpCabinetPicks

Gold-brushed Chris Christie as a cabinet

— Marc Logic (@marcannem96) November 9, 2016

In a shocking, totally unexpected turn of events, Liberals went completely batshit crazy when it dawned on them that they did not get their way. Protests - some turning into violent riots - began spreading across major cities.

Democrats want to show us how how worthy of leading the country they are. So they go out and wreck things and beat people up. #TrumpProtest

— Gill Egan (@thehiredmind) November 11, 2016

Protesting the results of a free, fair and undisputed election is so dumb that I can't even think of an "as dumb as" analogy.

— Alexandra F. Baldwin (@VerumVulnero1) November 9, 2016

LOVE TRUMPS HATE*

*Unless I'm doing the hating, because justified.#TrumpProtests

— J.R. Holmsted (@JHolmsted) November 11, 2016

This is why the worst rioting is in Portland, where the law-abiding citizens are armed mainly with body odor. https://t.co/LS90fmmbxw

— CDP (@cdpayne79) November 11, 2016

You're protesting an election BY THE PEOPLE. https://t.co/TASkV9ETuw

— Mo Mo (@molratty) November 10, 2016

You typed "the hate [Trump]'s unleashed", as your party beats people in the streets.

How did you not burst into flames? https://t.co/EKWAjrhEd6

The protesting left should tread very carefully. If they want a revolution, they would do well to remember who is more prepared.

— J.R. Holmsted (@JHolmsted) November 11, 2016

Since it’s obviously a time for healing, here is an important message for America:

Here America, have a Snickers. pic.twitter.com/8Mtq4Phump
