   representativesare without having to google.   
   3. Millions of Americans are exercising more. They're holding signs and   
   marching every week.   
   4. Alec Baldwin is great again. Everyone's forgotten he's kind of a jerk.   
   5. The Postal Service is enjoying the influx cash due to stamps   
   purchased by millions of people for letter and postcard campaigns.

   7. Millions of Americans now know how to call their elected officials   
   and know exactly what to say to be effective.   
   8. Footage of town hall meetings is now entertaining.   
   9. Tens of millions of people are now correctly spelling words like   
   emoluments, narcissist, fascist, misogynist, holocaust and cognitive   
   dissonance.   
   10. Everyone knows more about the rise of Hitler than they did last year.   
   11. Everyone knows more about legislation, branches of power and how   
   checks and balances work.   
   12. Marginalized groups are experiencing a surge in white allies.   
   13. White people in record numbers have just learned that racism is not   
   dead. (See #6)   
   14. White people in record numbers also finally understand that   
   Obamacare IS the Affordable Care Act.

   outlets are happily reporting a substantial increase in subscriptions, a

   rock stars.)   
   23. More than ever before, Americans are aware that education is   
   important. Like, super important.

   be President. Seriously, anyone.
