Well, it's morning in America
13 years ago
Well, election is over and I've woken from a long sleep. Not bitter, not angry, just accepting the new long-term social paradigm of America.
I find that I really don't like my country all that much come election time. I've really began to hate it since I first discovered the internet and what passes for discussion on it. So we have four more years of Obama. My response? Meh. Yeah, that's about the best I can muster. Because at the end of the day, meh is all either one of the candidates deserve. This was a great victory for whatever single-interest groups supported the winning candidate. But nothing is going to change because of this election. There's no time for self-reflection or anything, just both sides recessing to their normal bodies until the next cycle.
We've just become a country that's 100% bitter all the time. The losing voters are bitter because they lost, the winners are bitter because they can't believe so many voted against their candidate. And most importantly, this isn't the end of anything. This is just the first day of the 2016 presidential campaign. I expect every issue, and I mean EVERY ONE that pops up in the next four years to be fodder for dissemination on cable news and blogs about who will win next time.

But hope is the one thing they can never take away from us! We have to give that up ourselves.
