A whole lot of stuff happened this year. As in, more than normal. I thought I'd go over what I thought are some things that will be talked about in the history books someday.

Brexit

Rise of the Global Alt-Right

Donald Trump and Marine La Pen are just the beginning; this is going to continue. God have mercy.

U.S. and China Ratify the Paris accords
