Itβs only March, and 2020 has already proved to be a continuation of a shitty streak of years (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020). Within three days, we were on the brink of World War 3. Now, the entire world is coming to a halt because of the Coronavirus pandemic. 2020 has been full of mass panic and political polarization.

Ava: I canβt wait to see how 2020 turns out. It seems like the possibilities of this new futuristic sounding year are endless.
The year that everyone was SUPPOSED to nethrowingroaring 20s music parties but didn't...
Dude 1: Hey man, you wanna hang at my house, bring some girls over and throw a roaring 20s party. Its 2020, and the roaring 20s are here???
Dude 2: No man, that'd be awesome, but WE CAN'T cause of the stupid coronavirus and lockdowns...... I guess we'll have to wait till next year in 2021 to throw the party hopefully.
An exclamation that is obscene, profane or vulgar. An combined expletive of sorts. The new Asshole, Bastard, Fuck, Shit, Twat, Etc.; all of them if you will. One HUGE cluster fuck of expletives neatly rolled into one. No pun intended...
You little 2020.
Thatβs some 2020. Go 2020 yourself.
It all began with fears of WW3, fires, Trump's impeachment, and Kobe Bryant's death. And then a worldwide pandemic came and ground the world to a halt, causing lockdowns to be enforced everywhere, cancelling or postponing all sporting events, school, and basically every other event that requires gatherings in order to enforce social distancing. That means no more Olympics and most classes/ceremonies/gatherings being held online on Zoom (or similar). COVID-19 has killed HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of people, infected millions, and absolutely devastated the economy, causing 1930s Depression-level unemployment and the greatest recession of our lifetimes. "Stay Home. Save Lives." is the mark of 2020.
On top of all that, there's been swarms of killer locusts, other kinds of natural disasters, and severe political unrest. Tensions with China, Iran, Russia, etc. are at an all time high. America is more divided than ever - the MAGA vs. Democrat rivalry plus the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, etc. and the resulting outrage is plunging the nation into civil unrest. And the election is a choice between two old incompetent white men in mental decline (but Jo Jorgensen is a good alternative). Democrats couldn't choose anyone worse than Biden, and Trump is well...Trump.
This trainwreck of a year should be forgotten by all history books going forward. If we survive to 2021, no one shall speak of this year...ever. again. And remember when we thought 2016 was bad?
History class in the year 2050:
Teacher - And class, that was it for 2019. Next lesson is on 2021, and get ready because it will be a huge one!
Student - Wait, why aren't you telling us about 2020?
Teacher - We don't speak of that year. Ever.
Student - Why not?
Teacher - Well... think of someone infected with a deadly virus (all alone in social isolation) taking the most massive dump ever, add vomit, maggots, and locusts to that pile of dump, and multiply the whole thing by social unrest, economic crisis, incompetent politicians, threats of war, as well as all the evil you can ever imagine, and there's your answer. You'll get PTSD if I dared to tell you more about that forbidden year.
