DISCLAIMER 1 - This is not aimed at specific members of the board.
DISCLAIMER 2 - I'm not going to argue specific points in this post, as I've addressed them all at one point or another. Besides, if you feel like nitpicking, you're probably missing the point.
Yeah, so I'm really fucking pissed. Fuck everybody. Seriously. I'm terrified of our future and I'm not sure I even want to live here anymore. The fact that over 50% of voters would support a moronic, right-wing lunatic just blows my mind. But my rage goes beyond that:
Media - You're all a bunch of fucking cowards. You let the right convince you that you're biased and unreliable. You shower me with partisan pundits who have nothing say and voting results I could have pulled out of my ass. You swallow any bullshit this administration feeds you and happily spread the virus of phoney patriotism that has been making me so ashamed to be an American. Fuck you.
Liberals - More cowards. The Republicans made you their bitch like George W. to Laura. Stand up for what you fucking believe in every once and a while and maybe people will get off their asses and vote for you. You didn't want the fucking Iraq War. You don't fucking oppose gay marriage. Say what you really mean, not what you think people want you to mean. Fuck you too.
Conservatives - So you're opposed to gay marriage? Stem-cell research? Concerned about the moral issues of society? Wake the fuck up! We have a president who's sent us into two wars in four years, both of which were offensive and both of which were on shaky grounds. The economy has fallen to shit and our constitutional rights are being torn to shreads. All the Republicans I know IRL voted against George W. Bush. Why? Because they were socially or economically liberal? Fuck no. It's because they knew he was fucking up our country.
Third-Party and Non-Voters: Trying to rebel? Trying to change the system? Want everything exactly your way? Congratulations, you just made all of those things much less likely to happen. Who knows, maybe you'll even get to fight in a war pretty soon. But hey, you made a statement, right? I wonder when you'll realize that you're the only ones who even care?
Everyone: Wake up. Read the fucking news. Your president was just elected by the far right. Your country is in two wars, neither of which appear to have an end in sight. Your economy is in the toilet. My god, your electoral system is being manipulated by a video tape of a dirty, bearded man from Saudi Arabia.
This is America, for god's sake, a country that led the allies to victory over Hitler, a country that built itself up from nothing to become the most powerful nation in the world in only 200 years, and a country that is supposed to stand for freedom, opportunity, and ingenuity across the globe. What do we stand for now? Greed, arrogance, narrow-mindednes...if only you knew how quickly the rest of the world was growing to hate you. And not just your government or this particular administration -- you. Terrorist organizations have been disrupted in the short term, but America's unilateral actions have filled their ranks and promised us nothing less than a future of hate and fear. If you really think that Osama bin Laden was trying to convince you to vote for Kerry, I feel very sorry for you.
We're entering dark times.
