My rage has usurped my ability to think and debate rationally. How could Bush win? How could this happen? How could half of my countrymen, my “fellow Americans” actually vote for that fucking asshole? It’s not that I think they stole the election unfairly – I’m angry at the voters.<\/p>\n
I cannot even UNDERSTAND what would bring someone to vote for Bush. Are these people such fucking selfish cowards, so afraid of the remote risk of a terrorist attack that they’d overlook everything Bush has screwed up?<\/p>\n
And to put me over the edge into a sputtering, speechless fury, ELEVEN states approved (state) constitutional amendments banning gay marriage! What kind of country do I live in? Where do these bigoted fuckwads get off legislating others’ relationships?!<\/p>\n
I don’t want to share my country with these assholes. I don’t want to live through four years of a Republican Congress colluding with a lame duck Republican president to ass-fuck our rights and the environment. Fuck you, Bush voters! And fuck you, non-voters!<\/p>\n
I’d tell them to go to hell, but pretty soon our country will be hell anyway, so what’s the point?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
