National Schadenfreude Day

Dear god, it's finally over. Greetings, everyone, and welcome to National Schadenfreude Day! "Schadenfreude" being that wonderful german word (shut up, this is a nation of immigrants, right?) that means, roughly, "joy in the misery of others." One way or the other, after all. In the spirit of bipartisanship and national unity, let us first commence this day with the hereafter-traditional Venting of the Spleen. I see such status messages as "Doom!" and "RIP Democracy: 1776-2008" so let's go ahead and use this moment to get down, on paper, all the horrible things we can expect under the coming administration. Feel free to leave your predictions of national socialism, sharia law, mandatory gay marriage, or what have you in the comments here and I'll put up the criteria for the various celebratory essay contests (for which I promise I have *actual prizes!*) in a little bit.
