If you are a fan of the man called Joss, then it is no surprise to you that he is not to thrilled with the results of the 2016 election. Luckily, he is back on twitter these days with words of despair and inspiration that we love him for so much.
I (Polar) found myself turning to Firefly these days for comfort and hope because, honesty, if I managed to smile again after the whole "leaf on the wind" and what followed scene, then I may survive what's ahead.Trump's enemies list is the school musical all over again - my stomach is in knots cuz when they post it i just KNOW i won't see my name— Joss Whedon (@joss) November 12, 2016
