Welcome to another issue of Ctrl+Alt+Del-Hate magazine, the post 2020 U.S. election edition. It is an important one. Many will be happy to see 2020 come to end. The year has certainly been a confusing and potentially paradigm-altering one. However, while it may be comforting to believe that the U.S. presidential electoral outcome, Joe Biden’s victory over Donald Trump, will allow us to transition into 2021 with hopes that the division and discord, social breakdown and danger of polarization, hate and extremism that have only enhanced since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and quarantine will end, we might do better to absorb the reality that the situation is more dire than we might imagine.
