Let’s face it, people… This year sucked. We watched an orange racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic pathological liar get elected president. President-elect Donald Trump is already causing foreign policy faux pas and making horrible cabinet choices.
Stephen Colbert decided to end the year with a song. He did a parody of R.E.M’s song “It’s the End of the World As We Know It.” Michael Stipe, the lead singer of R.E.M. was there with him.
He mentions everything from the Zika virus to Harambe to the election. He covered Brexit. There were the deaths of many great people including Prince, David Bowie, Alan Rickman, Leonard Cohen, and many others. Then, James Franco shows up for some strange reason.
Twitter is full of people wanting 2016 to be over:
R.I.P TO EVERYBODY WHO DIED IN 2016 ??????

Even in the summer, we were wondering just how much 2016 would suck. Slate reported:
“Have terrifying events truly piled up on each other in 2016, in a way they didn’t in any other year in human history? Or is it impossible to judge the awfulness of a year while it’s still unfolding? Do we just notice negative happenings more these days because of our high levels of connectivity? And what does ‘worst year’ even mean—‘worst year’ for Americans, for humanity, for the planet?”
We still have a couple of weeks left. Get ready to defend our rights in 2017. Hopefully, the Electoral College will do something to get rid of Drumpf. If not, we will have to stop Trump from destroying us. He is an embarrassment to our country.
Here is the ultimate 2016 meme. This person provided us with a comprehensive list of why 2016 sucked.
It includes the 43 people and things that we lost this year:

Depending on whatever Trump does, we may need to remix “Everybody Hurts” next. Let’s hope we can survive 2017, guys!
