Am I a leftist? Yes.

Do I watch the Inauguration for the fashion? Also yes.

Happy to be here: custom mask
Happy to be here but terrified: N-95
"What do you mean I could match my mask to my clothes": blue or black adjustable mask
Cop or straight dude phoning it in: solid color disposable

Ted Cruz RIPPED his mask off his face to take a photo, and presumably eat hair

Jill Biden, meanwhile, is the ONLY person in the presidential party to match her mask to her outfit

Nancy Pelosi in the same color scheme as Jill Biden but with a paisley mask

I hope Mitch keels over and Jill Biden whispers educational theories to him as he slips away

All these Republican congressmen taking off their masks for any reason they can think of I cringe every time

THE MASK GOES ON YOUR FACE MITT

That white mask with the lips is terrifying.

Young blonde woman in the starry mask, I love you

Switched to the VOX stream and they're getting weepy over the Constitution which. Ok.

THE MASK GOES OVER YOUR NOSE BOB MENENDEZ

Does anyone remember Dan Quayle? I don't.

Are those congress-branded blankets on the chairs?

Someone grab one for me.

I'm looking for Marjorie Taylor Green so I can rip on her outfit as hard as possible

THE MASK GOES OVER YOUR NOSE BILL CLINTON

Hillary in a very cute purple cravat, but not matching mask to outfit.

Laura Bush, unfortunately, showing a lot of people up here in a beautiful purple-grey suit with a rope of pearls.

The staffer with the Obamas matched her outfit and mask to Michelle's GORGEOUS wine red pantsuit and trenchcoat, but Michelle herself is in a black mask

Tbh I'm good with it. Her outfit is INCREDIBLE.

At least the justices matched their black masks to their black robes

BOOOO FUCK YOU BRETT PUT THE MASK ON YOUR NOSE

HOLY FUCK WHO IS THAT DARK HAIRED WOMAN WITH THE STUDDED KHAKI TRENCHCOAT

I LOVE YOU

Ella Rose Emhoff???

She's the adult stepdaughter of Kamala and oh my God. Ohhhh my God.

Anyway I'm gay. This trenchcoat is powerful.

Pence holding his wife's hand in a VICE GRIP

Mrs. Pence matching a black mask to a black coat, nice.

Imagine having to be at the inauguration for your fascist failson boss.

I love that the senators applaud the senate secretary that is very good

Pence couldn't even match a black mask to a black suit or think of queer folk as people, what an asshole

I don't know who the tiny child in the MASSIVE faux fur coat is, but I'm jealous of her coat

Kamala looks great in that royal blue ensemble and statement necklace

Where are the QAnon bitches so I can rip on them come on

Ok WHO is the guy in the Texas mask and the ten gallon hat

The little crystals on Jill's suit! Her whole look is aspirational. I'd love to wear this to something someday.

Mitch looks like he's being moved by electric shocks, strings, and hope.

God, American politics is such a problematic fave of mine.

JILL'S VELVET CUFFS!!!

YES ANNOUNCE HER AS DR. JILL BIDEN THAT'S RIGHT

Jill's outfit is just dreamy.

Amy Klobuchar in an unremarkable mustard coat making an unremarkable speech about a calcified and capitalist nation

I'd be more impressed with Klobuchar if she wasn't so famously shitty to her aides

MASK. GOES. OVER. YOUR. FACE.

What a teeny tiny priest

Lady Gaga in the cold weather ballgown I aspire to wear someday.

YES DO THAT SIGN LANGUAGE ALONG WITH THE PLEDGE

ELLA https://twitter.com/sloppymenace/status/1351924190845292544?s=19

Dear @ella_emhoff please date me I make great food and we can share clothes

I was gonna make fun of JLo for not being Woody Guthrie, but you know what, fuck it, Guthrie would have loved the plea for justice she made

Also her earrings are great

Jill you didn't need to take off your mask to hold that absolute CHONKER of a book

Mitch trying to kill Joe with his turtle eye beams

Side note: I really really really wanna see the @BadLipReading of this inauguration

Mitch's hair looking like he just climbed out of the sewer after getting chased by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Someone tell Joe that a fever is the sign of an immune response to an illness and you can't lower the temperature until you treat the illness

The illness being fascism

Oh there's the King reference

Sailor hats and earmuffs is a LOOK

What are the common objects we as Americans love?

Uhhh..

Money.
Power.
Cool outfits.
Summertime action movies.
Idk being obstreporous maybe

Biden, honey, please go sit down.

"America has been tested and come out stronger for it"

This speech is EXHAUSTING

I like how Jill is in blue-green and Kamala is in purple-blue, it's a nice complement

Who allowed Garth Brooks to be here

Garth Brooks is a potato who can only remember two verses of Amazing Grace

Mitch still shooting eye beams

Garth Brooks ran up the fucking stairs in embarrassment

AMANDA GORMAN IS SO CUTE

I LOVE her braids and outfit!

I like this thread a lot too.

I don't think that this is the end of all of our troubles, but it does feel good to not spend today in total dread. https://twitter.com/tinygorgon/status/1351940587834884103?s=19

OH NO DON'T SAY MIGHT AND RIGHT TOGETHER THAT IS NOT WHAT YOU WANTED TO SAY

Oh hey I know Rev. Beaman! Met him at a protest, he's looking mighty cool.

As a note: Rev. Beaman's "no hate" speech is deliberately antifascist, he does BLM work.

What a GOOD benediction

Kamala and Michelle hug and my heart is full

Plus their outfits look like the bisexual flag together

PUT. THE. MASK. ON. YOUR. NOSE. BILL.
