Victories that set up defeats

Don’t mind me (?). This is my pessimist, cynical self.

After the elections the world outside feels like it’s a better place. As if the battle is won. But is it? Or is it just a set up for a following defeat, once again?

It’s when you win that you are blind and most vulnerable. It’s after you win that destiny is in your hands, and you’ll fuck it up, consistently, every single time.

Do we look at the stock market like an oracle? Turns good, yay?

What are we talking about?
48-hours long partial victories that turn into defeats?

Are we just happy for the momentary lull of illusions?

Celebrating victories so you can lose the day after.
Winning so you become weak and set up once again for defeat.

Is America healing, or preparing its next defeat?
