2020 Sucks.

Yeah, 2020 sucks, but 1969 wasn't bad.
Listen to Grace Slick at Woodstock and feel better.

I loved Grace, along with everyone else.
69 definitely had the music, but there were also troubles

2020 sucks so bad that even the phrase "Hope is contagious" has an entirely new meaning.

It also marks the year that many people can no longer use the word "trump" as it has been used for 500 years.

Definition of trump
1a: a card of a suit any of whose cards will win over a card that is not of this suit
— called also trump card

b: the suit whose cards are trumps for a particular hand —often used in plural
2: a decisive overriding factor or final resource
— called also trump card

We know that language changes over time. Typically it's new words that become immediately part of our vocabulary, while losing words is a slower process, but not this time. To trump something is gone from my vocabulary and I'm probably not the only one.
Bridge needs a new word.

They should change the terminology in chess from "check" and "checkmate" to "trump" and "trumpmate" just to make a statement. It would also be a trumpmate if they did so.
