Wait a minute...be still...can you feel it? Wait...there it is again! Yes, it's true, the country is definitely moving to the Right. And remember, oh my friends, that these are just the tremors before the political earthquake hits on Tuesday. So to my friends on the RIGHT, here comes your early Christmas present! To ...my friends on the LEFT, HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Bwah hah hah hah hah!
The Republicans might win some elections therefore everything that ever happened in 2008 will be totally and completely wiped away! Change is coming, again, and everything is going to be magically better. How, you say? Well, by stopping that Obama from doing all that stuff that he hasn't done be cause he is a do nothing Muslim Socialist who hates America!
It makes complete sense when you think about it like this: *puts gun to head, fires, empties entire skull, drools*
The only real amazing thing about this election is that the right has sort of re-surged in this crazier, stupider fashion and that anyone is buying it. The lack of history or perception on display is nothing short of absurd. I am not as panicked or depressed as I maybe ought to be partially because, like the media has programmed many to think, I am disillusioned, unmotivated and disappointed in the way things are going too.
Why this is not the change enough I voted for in 2008 dag-nabit!
However, I am unwilling to hand any keys back over to the assholes who got us deeper into this shit hole in the first place either. So, I voted independent (mostly) again which is more or less throwing my vote away but fuck it. Apparently the masters of the universe have instructed the media to instruct us that the Republicans have won Congress and some senate seats anyways, right? Who cares, right? Why vote at all, right?
Well, wrong, I still voted and I never bought the every vote not for Democraps is a vote for the Refucklicans because I have the right to vote my conscience once in a while, particularly, with state and local shit as in Illinois there were many Green candidates for many of the elections and, with several exceptions, I gave votes to those fuckers somewhat out of spite and somewhat out of my continued naivete that somehow alternative, third parties will magically begin getting a say. *dies laughing*
That said, the ugly, polarization of America has reached new lows that have even managed to turn me off of politics. Why I haven't posted a political rant on here since the spring mostly because I am tired of it. Tired of the game, the bullshit and the lowly, disgusting display put on by these Tea-Party assholes. That, and the middle of the road, compromise machine that is averaging their way through a Presidency and while I cannot say they have done nothing and so on, I can say, as a semi-member of the "professional left" that much is left to be desired. Especially when it comes to rolling back Bush shit related to the wars, rendition, wire-tap privacy, state secrets, assassinations, et. al. Absolutely soul crushing that this shit is still around. Power corrupts and it takes a certain kind of someone to actually give up powers and those kinds of someones tend not to be in politics anymore. Could use a Carter or Eisenhower right about now as opposed to a see-saw or mentally deficient obstructionist.
Whatever, it's the rich who run things and it's the rich who always win, if not, they'll find a loop hole and win eventually. They will manipulate the poor, they will manipulate their media tools, to keep us divided and stupid. So, we piss and moan and fight and argue and make ridiculous statements and take meaningless stands on abstract, selfish, pointless, principles that ultimately do nothing but create emotional friction and accomplish nothing. The next two years could very well become a meandering governmental gridlock doing nothing but stalling, fighting and quite possibly pursuing any number of empty political scandals and impeachment attempts not unlike what we saw at the end of the Clinton years. The right's goal is to defeat the left, not actually make anything better, improved or do anything else that might be considered governing. Outside of doing whatever possible to clear the way for our big business masters to profit and keep the richest 1% as rich as possible and everyone else to shut the fuck and enjoy those freedoms we had.
But it sure makes for some compelling television news cycles, don't it?
YEEEEEE-HAAWWWW!!!!
