douglas: i’ve just never had a squad before... ive been trying to find one all my life..... i’m so happy that i have a good friend group who loves and supports me and shares my basic political views even though you’re all southerners.... i expect all of you to crash at me and breckinridge’s party penthouse as often as possible so we can get drunk and bond and make all sorts of awesome inside jokes and shit ;^) love you guys haha :’^) we’re gonna grow old together and fuck up our retirement home lol

douglas, 4 months later, january 1861: well, fuck

I don't know why I thought of this, but imagine a modern au Stevvie D falling from grace, disappearing from the public eye, and then showing up again six months later working for one of the DMVs in the Chicago metropolitan area.

he’s steve carrell in The Office but its in the fucking DMV

me: *reads a post on a reddit thread about weird facts about how the jaw can easily bite through a finger*

me; *cringes*

me: *remembers when stephen douglas almost bit a debate opponent’s thumb off*

me: *cringes*

sometimes douglas’ pettiness frustrates me until i remember that THIS is what he had to put up with

douglas claimed that he was out of the senate chamber when the brooks-sumner beatdown happened, and that he was on his way there to ‘do something about it’, then he realized how bad that would look to an outside observer if he was witness to it and went right the fuck back to his room
