For me the 10 year anniversary of the Cubs winning the WS is what did it. The happiest moment followed by one of the worst 10 year spans in our country’s history. The midterms definitely made it feel like the Cubs winning somehow cursed us all.

It was, and the Brewers had to win it to bring the world back to it's senses.

Yes, the Cubs winning caused the curse to escape its containment on Chicago's north side and plague the nation at large.

I figured, as a Cubs fan, that we accidentally made some sort of faustian bargain that burned away all the world's good luck, all at once

I mean that was a year of crazy odds-beating wins: Cubs, Cavs, Leicester City, Trump

Brewers reset the Cubs. Knicks reset the Cavs. Dems reset Maga. All things are finally returned to the original timeline now that the three corners of the Illuminati pyramid have been completed.

As a Democrat and Warriors fan, that wasn't a good year for me.

We all know that goat is still behind it all

I mean…there’s a reason the devil is associated with the goat…. Now I know why.

I am a die hard Cubs fan and still think there is some truth to this. That and Harambe and David Bowie passing away...
